What's wrong with the grep approach? It follows the Unix-approach to keep 
things small, and doesn't put extra bloat into the pkg tools.

Your former thing is similar. If you want a pkg search tool, write a 
seperate one or extend one of the (many) existing ones, but don't bloat a 
tool into what it's not for.
