If you wanted to limit the search to just 'files', then you could also

An additional comment:
I find it confusing, that
pkg search :file:basename:vim
works, and
pkg search :basename:vim
works, but
pkg search :file:vim
does not work.
Because that syntax is wrong. You specified :key:token, not
:action_type:key:token.
There may be a pkg related explaination for this behaviour, along the
lines of
"well, in IPS land, ':file:' doesnt actually mean file, it means...."
but speaking as a plain user, in my opinion, "file", should always
mean.... "file".
I'm sorry if this is revolutionary thinking, but that's just my opinion ;)
I don't see how; 'file' always means 'file', but the meaning of the
search tokens you specify is determined by position. This is documented
in pkg(1) like this:
Boolean search using AND and OR is supported. Field, or
structured, queries are supported. The syntax for these
is pkg_name:action_type:key:token. Missing fields are
