[gentoo-user] Is there really no way to search http://packages.gentoo.org ?!

[Daevid Vincent]

Am I completely retarded or is this broken?

http://packages.gentoo.org/

There USED to be a way to search packages. I don't see such a "feature"
anymore? I tried it in both IE6 and FF2 just in case.

I switched to hitting up www.gentoo-portage.com instead because of this 
lack of feature.

Murphy's law, if you want a site to go down, give me the link.  :/

As a work-around, you might try app-portage/esearch. It's a sort of 'locate'
for your portage tree. Run eupdatedb to (re)generate the search database,
and esearch to look through it. Runs a lot quicker than a emerge -S or
waiting for websites ;)

eix has long since supplanted esearch on my systems. It is faster and
doesn't need to update its database to be aware of changes to your
installed packages.

PS Please don't top-post on this list.

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
