 Take 'tex' as an example -- port search tex returns 391 ports, but almost
 none of them are related to TeX.

 I see fine this option, I think that port search tex could be a default
 form, for example, port search tex = port search --name tex then add 2 new
 options port search --description and port search --long-description, too
 i will add best a --long-description that --long_description, IMHO
