emerge search sc
will give you a whole list of things with 'sc' in. In amongst these is app-office/sc, so go to http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/index.xml and click on app-office, then sc. This will give you a few details, including the developer homepage etc. In most cases, I think you can bypass the clicking by doing (e.g.) http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/app-office/sc.xml
Actually sc is a lousy example as there a lot of things with sc in their name, so you'll get lots of results. In this case you might want to try
emerge search sc | egrep '^\*.*\/sc$'
or something like that.
'emerge search' does support searching with regular expressions.
Even better! (I will RTFM at some point... maybe when I've finally got kde, qt, mozillafirebird etc compiled... give me a week or so!)
So, the equivelant of what you tried to do is 'emerge -s ^sc$'. The regex is matched only on the package name, not the category.
