Portal:USB. I don't see benefit in search function :-(

It is not a special function. It is however a namespace, and it
therefore falls outside the (main) article namespace . It will not be
searched unless it is added to the list of namespaces that are
searched. ie http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search does not list the
namespace.

Creation of new namespace is therefore discouraged without discussion
and admin involvement. Portal: is however an existing namespace on
Wikipedia, and has an established use to signify pages that are portal
pages. We could probably use the concepts of Portals without using a
separate namespace. eg: 'USB Portal' or maybe 'Portal/USB' which means
that all the portal pages are subpages of a main Portal page.
