stheg, 

Thank you. Great learning experience. Especially 'make search'. That is 
very useful. But how does it work (/usr/ports/Makefile doesn't have a 
SEARCH statement) and is it documented somewhere, like in a MAN page? 

The handbook, ¶4.3, mentions 'make search' but doesn't explain how it 
works.
