This isn't a life or death situation but it's the first time I've
noticed this oddity.  I've always used "make search name=" from
/usr/ports to find a particular port to install but it seemed to fail
finding phpMyAdmin.

This is on a 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 box where I cvsup the ports tree nightly.


        # cd /usr/ports
        
        # make search name=phpmyadmin
        
        # make search name=php | grep phpmyadmin -B 1 -A 4
        Port:   phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1
        Path:   /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
        Info:   A set of PHP-scripts to administer MySQL over the web
        Maint:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        B-deps: 
        R-deps: apache-1.3.31_2 expat-1.95.7 mod_php4-4.3.7_3,1
        mysql-client-4.0.20 perl-5.8.4


Then I thought about the possibility of case sensitivity:


        # make search name=phpMyAdmin
        Port:   phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1
        Path:   /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
        Info:   A set of PHP-scripts to administer MySQL over the web
        Maint:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        B-deps: 
        R-deps: apache-1.3.31_2 expat-1.95.7 mod_php4-4.3.7_3,1
        mysql-client-4.0.20 perl-5.8.4


I didn't think this used to be case sensitive so I tried it on a
5.2-RELEASE development box that hasn't had anything, ports or
otherwise, updated since January.


        # make search name=phpmyadmin
        Port:   phpMyAdmin-2.5.4
        Path:   /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
        Info:   A set of PHP-scripts to adminstrate MySQL over the web
        Maint:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        Index:  databases www
        B-deps:
        R-deps: apache-1.3.29_1 expat-1.95.6_1 mysql-client-4.0.16 perl-5.6.1_15
        php4-4.3.4_2


Hmmm.  Not case sensitive.  I notice /usr/ports/README mentions "make
search key=" but not "make search name=".  Has something changed or is it just me?
