pkg_search scans the ports INDEX file to use as a database, fetching it
if necessary. Example of usage to search for a package:
# pkg_search cyrus-sasl
cyrus-sasl-1.5.28_5 RFC 2222 SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22 RFC 2222 SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
cyrus-sasl-ldapdb-2.1.22 SASL LDAPDB auxprop plugin
cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.22 SASL authentication server for cyrus-sasl2
# pkg_search -i cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
Name : cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-50

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

ports-mgmt/pkg_search: Remove deprecation, but IGNORE on DragonFly
At the request of a user, further review reveal that the pkg_* tools
aren't actually used. It just awks the INDEX file. The maintainer
forgot the technical details, especially since the SEE ALSO section of
the man page references pkg_* tools.
A minor update is needed to re-support DragonFly and update the man
page. Until this, it's been marked IGNORE for DragonFly.
ports-mgmt/pkg_search: deprecate and expire 30 Nov 2016
The author/maintainer confirmed that this tool has never been updated
to use pkg(8) and thus can be removed from the tree.
Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus
minor COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. A few Makefiles
where not included as they contain Latin-1 characters that break
the Phabricator workflow. Categories P-S.
