pkg-search - Querying the non-default repository (not for installing packages)

[parv/freebsd]

Hi there,

I use "latest" repository via default "/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf" to install
packages on FreeBSD 13-STABLE. To be able to search quarterly branch via
"pkg-search -r" (able to supply a reponame even if not active per its manual
page), I copied that file to "/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/quarter.conf" ...

quarter: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: no,
  priority: 0
}

... but "pkg search -r quarter curl" does not work when "enabled: no".

Is that not how package search supposed to work for a repository that is

not active?
