How do I get `port search' to look into meta-data? Here is an example:

# Firefox is a browser but word `browser' turns up in its meta-data $ port search firefox firefox-x11 www/firefox-x11 2.0.0.7 Mozilla.org's popular stand-alone browser # Therefore following fails to return `Firefox' $ port search browser headerbrowser devel/headerbrowser 0.8.3 simple, efficient tool for creating doc from C/C++ source $

$ port search long_description:browser

# I already know category $ port search category:*

# & $ port search long_description:*

# what else is there? $ port search *:*

I think it might be the list between lines 720 and 735 of (r31925 of) src/port/port.tcl: variants variant description portdir homepage epoch platforms platform name long_description maintainers maintainer categories category version revision At least, those all do work.
