Help me understand the use case for frequent local search that I'm not
seeing... Once the software is installed on your machine, why are you
searching for it?
well, frequent is relative.
installing software should normally be infrequent, too. But I also find
myself doing a search, "MORE" frequently, than doing pkg add/delete.
why? well, most recently, to see what package something is in, so I can
determine which package I need to remove. Or patch/update.
or add on another machine to make it more like the one I'm looking at.
Or to see if there are multiple instances of a particular thing, and by
which vendors.
(ie: I have 3 versions of perl installed, on some machines. less on some,
more on others)
