However, now, in the latest solaris 11, (VM image of 11/11) it seems that

to search only by filename any more?
pkg search path:/usr/bin/ls
or
pkg search basename:ls
The syntax is discussed in pkg(1), with the search subcommand, but we don't
list the available keys anywhere, to my knowledge.
Oh yikes. There's even more inconsistency for the user: path vs
basename searches
If you compare the output of
pkg search basename:pkgrepo
vs
pkg search path:/usr/bin/pkgrepo
Both give the *exact same output*.
Now as a long time systems programmer, I can understand the difference
between "basename" and "path". But even I expect, that if something is
indexed
completely differently, on supposedly different values.. it should have
different
output for the 'value' column.
Worse yet, the output of pkg search path:/usr/bin/pkgrepo
gives VALUE=usr/bin/pkgrepo
but if you actually try searching with that same value it CLAIMS to have...
pkg search path:usr/bin/pkgrepo
get back nothing!
You have to add an initial '/' to have it work!!
Really, really confusing to a user :(
