I agree this. If we have a powerful search utility instead of the simple "make search", it doesn't matter how large the directories are.
Searching and browsing are not the same task.
/me has an image of window-shopping the ports tree ...
KDE has a tool called Barry, not sure if it made it into the distribution but it should be available somewhere.

Nice tool. But how does that help with quick window-shopping? Finer-grained directories help. Using a GUI tool to navigate coarse-grained directories instead of `cd` and tab-completion doesn't (especially since I only run X on a single, non-FreeBSD, machine).
