I've (now) read /usr/ports/CHANGES but the behavior for me isn't
matching.

	# pwd
	/usr/ports
	
	# make search icase=1 name=phpmyadmin display=name,path,maint
	
	# make search icase=1 name=phpMyAdmin display=name,path,maint
	Port:   phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1
	Path:   /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
	Maint:  m.seaman at infracaninophile.co.uk


Am I being dense here?
