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

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 :).
I think the -l is here to stay. Initially we had local search as the
default, and got lots of feedback that remote should be the default. One
possibility would be to make the default be both local and remote, but
that seems to be to be fairly confusing.
