6 Okay, it's done [1]. If you want to test it out, note that any
7 un-indexed repositories will slow down the search. When I was testing
8 the patch, I only generated the index for the gentoo repo, and disabled
9 my overlays when running searches:

11 PORTAGE_REPOSITORIES=$'[gentoo]\nlocation = /usr/portage\n' emerge -S
12 search-string
