I'm going to speak for myself and not portmgr here.
My take has always been that looking through the Ports Collection should
be done by some high-level search tool (e.g. website). Just looking
through the raw portnames, even if they have descriptions, is mind-
numbing.
I don't believe that we should force users to do a great deal of work
on updating their systems to optimize for looking through the hierarchy
by command-line tools. They're just the wrong tool for the job, in
this case.
IMHO.
