What about pkg-origin or category/port-name? Some of the gnome and kde 
packages would be much easier to find, if we are able to use search arguments 
like "sysutils/k" or "x11/g".            

As pkg-plist files will be removed from the ports tree, searching packages by 
file-names would be nice. So one could check out, if a package would install 
a bumped library version, config filenames will still have their old names or 
just to find out to which packet a specific file-name belongs to.     

An additional checkbox: Show (only) packages that belong to ports that are 
considered to be broken or listed in vuln.xml. 

Thanks!
