Post subject:  How to search for a specific port in FreeBSD
When you need to check if FreeBSD ports contain a specific software, one needs to either use "find /usr/ports" or make use of the "make" utility.

Searching for bash in FreeBSD ports:
Code:
# make -C /usr/ports/ search key=bash | grep -vE "B-deps|R-deps" | less
...

Using "make search key=bash" will search all packages that contain "bash" in their name, dependendant ports package (which is a lot).

In case you only want to see ports that have "bash" in their name, use "make search name=bash"
Code:
# make -C /usr/ports/ search name=bash
