You called?

Actually, yes,the search capability in ports was updated and expanded
quite a bit recently.  Read all about it in the /usr/ports/CHANGES
file.

You can now do:

    % make search icase=1 name=phpmyadmin display=name,path,maint
    Port:   phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1
    Path:   /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
