Thanks for articulating these, these were the kinds of examples I was looking for.

For my own clarity, other than the speed, are there ways that pkg search are not currently meeting your needs (at least in replacing grep /var/.../contents)?

  I haven't used it enough to say.  An often ignored side effect of
  speed bumps is they greatly discourage experimentation, and in turn
  understanding.

  That said, the two things that frequently trip me up is needing to
  specify -l all the time (especially in laptop world where
  connectivity isn't absolute, it just feels more natural to have to
  specify a flag when I want to go off and access the network), and
  having to specify wildcards when I want to do a substring search
  (something that makes perfect sense and I'll just have to get used
  to :).
