Most odd. The search target works by substituting the values you give
on the make command line into an awk script, which pulls the data out
of /usr/ports/INDEX (or INDEX-5 on 5.x) and formats it as required.
It's all in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk
Do you have PORTSEARCH_IGNORECASE defined in your environment or in
/etc/make.conf ? Not that that would make any difference to the
result above, as using icase on the command line will override that
value.
Hmmm... what awk(1) program is first on your path? And if it isn't
the default version supplied with the system (/usr/bin/awk -- in 4.10
this is actually GNU Awk 3.0.6) does it support 'IGNORECASE'? There's
this little snippet in the awk(1) man page:
NOTE: In versions of gawk prior to 3.0, IGNORECASE only
affected regular expression operations. It now affects
string comparisons as well.
Cheers,
Matthew
