18 sounds like what you want could be obtained with a simple script:
19
20 [root@tnt ~]# cat pkgsearch.sh
21 #/bin/sh
22 find /usr/portage/ -name *$1*.ebuild -maxdepth 3 -mindepth 2 -type f
23
24
25 [root@tnt ~]# ./pkgsearch.sh fluxbox
26 /usr/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox/fluxbox-0.1.9-r5.ebuild
27 /usr/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox/fluxbox-0.1.10.ebuild
