Search ports. Problems with ports-mgmt/psearch

[valsorym]

Hi all
Help me, please. I installed ports-mgmt/psearch

# rehash
# psearch w3m
Error: cannot read index file "/usr/ports/INDEX-8"

Yes - /usr/ports/INDEX-8 not found.
That it should be?

Ports collection I update as follows:

# cat /etc/csup/ports-all
*default host=cvsup3.ua.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress 
ports-all

# csup /etc/csup/ports-all

and

# /usr/sbin/portsnap fetch update

Or advise me of another search utility.
Thanks.

A few port search utilities I never got quite working, but I just tried this one for the first time in memory, returned a result soon

psearch -c www -s cherokee

; I usually use

 make search key=

or browse in a subcategory. (BTW your command worked fine, returning greater than five results immediately.) Have you run

 make fetchindex && portsdb -u

PORTS(7)

fetchindex Fetch the INDEX file from the FreeBSD cluster.

cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex

or Using Portsnap
for the first time :

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract

and later :

# portsnap fetch update
