                     15: by saying:
                     16:
                     17:        make search key="<keyword>"
                     18:
                     19: Which will generate a list of all ports matching <keyword>.
                     20:
                     21: NOTE:  This tree can GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
                     22: The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
                     23: and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
                     24: subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
                     25: building a given port.  /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
                     26: cleaned without ill-effect, though if you don't have the original
                     27: distribution tarball(s) for something on CDROM then you will need to pull
                     28: it all over your network connection again if you ever try to build the
                     29: associated port.
