Many query tools accept basic regular expressions, namely ^ to begin a 
line and $ to end it.

donnie@supernova ~ $ eix ^at$
* sys-process/at
      Available versions:  3.1.8-r11 3.1.8-r12
      Installed:           none
      Homepage: 
ftp://jurix.jura.uni-sb.de/pub/jurix/source/chroot/appl/at/
      Description:         Queues jobs for later execution

This is more generally applicable than the other example of the -e flag.

Thanks,
Donnie
