ACCEPT_KEYWORDS done on the command line is a very poor idea,
use /etc/portage/package.use instead.

I forget the specifics, but I have seen a system run into serious
problems and library screwups over that.


I was thinking the same thing, except I suppose it's not so bad you are only 
using it for searching (emerge -s).

The problem with using things like USE and ACCEPT_KEYWORDS directly on the command line 
is that the next time you go to upgrade that package or do "emerge -u world", 
Your package specific USE and ACCEPT_KEYWORDS settings will have been forgotten.  You can 
make them persistent if you keep them in package.use and package.keywords.
