Log:
  Add a section on how to search for ports using pkg search.
  I've updated the submitted patch slightly by wrapping the version numbers
  of the resulting ports in the example in <replaceable>s so that people
  know that they might have a different output as time goes by.
  I also rephrased a paragraph so that it does not start with a <command> tag.
