It is.  If you got the changes to the Makefiles, etc., but not the changes 
to support the new version of 'make search' you must have gotten a CVSup 
snapshot right in the middle of the commit.  CVSup again and try the 
search.  My ports are current as of sometime last night and make search 
seems to work adequately:

No pkg-comment files at all, they're all in COMMENT= directives in the 
Makefiles.

        Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
