Why some of the port names are different than path?

Code: 
Path:	/usr/ports/databases/mysql-workbench52

Code: 
> sudo portinstall mysql-workbench52
** No such package or port: mysql-workbench52
> sudo portinstall mysql-workbench52\*
** No such package or port: mysql-workbench52*

And the port name is: mysql-workbench-oss52-5.2.1_4

It's not confusing?
 
Other example:
Code: 
> portsearch -n mysql-server-5.1
Port:	mysql-server-5.1.51_1
Path:	/usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server
Info:	Multithreaded SQL database (server)
Maint:	ale@FreeBSD.org
B-deps:	mysql-client-5.1.51_1
R-deps:	mysql-client-5.1.51_1
WWW:	http://www.mysql.com/
> portinstall
usage: portinstall [-habcCDDefFiklnOpPPqrRsuvwWy] [-A command] [-B command]
        [-L format] [-S command] [-x pkgname_glob]
        [[-o origin] [-m make_args] [-M make_env] pkgname_glob ...]
pkgname_glob is one of these: a full pkgname, a pkgname w/o version,
a shell glob pattern in which you can use wildcards *, ?, and [..],
an extended regular expression preceded by a colon (:), or a date range
specification preceded by either < or >.  See pkg_glob(1) for details.
The package list is automatically sorted in dependency order.

When using port name and path name, doesn't work for both.
Code: 
> sudo portinstall mysql-server-5.1.51_1
** No such package or port: mysql-server-5.1.51_1
> sudo portinstall mysql51-server
** No such package or port: mysql51-server
How can I check with portsearch which name I should use for portinstall then?

Just cd to /usr/ports and use the relative path to the port. Having the CWD in /usr/ports means you can use tab-completion :e
 
Anyway I'm kind of person who wants to know why this doesn't work from the source and how I could use portsearch tool in proper way in above case. This is the reason why this tool was created, to save the time to cd's to ports and make all the make's steps manually.
Code: 
> pkg_info -W portsearch
/usr/local/bin/portsearch was installed by package portsearch-1.3.2
 
I don't use portsearch but I do use ports-mgmt/psearch. Should be quite similar though. Just search for a name without any version numbers in it.

Code: 
dice@molly:~>psearch mysql-server
databases/mysql323-server Multithreaded SQL database (server)
databases/mysql40-server  Multithreaded SQL database (server)
databases/mysql41-server  Multithreaded SQL database (server)
databases/mysql50-server  Multithreaded SQL database (server)
databases/mysql51-server  Multithreaded SQL database (server)
databases/mysql55-server  Multithreaded SQL database (server)
 
Anyway to force portsearch to return package-name? psearch looks like it's only returning port paths.
 
[cmd=]psearch -n[/cmd]

Code: 
$ psearch -n mysql-workbench
mysql-workbench-oss51-5.1.16_4 The MySQL Workbench
mysql-workbench-oss52-5.2.1_4 The MySQL Workbench
 
Code: 
cd /usr/ports
make search name=blah

or

Code: 
cd /usr/ports
make search key=blah

Has always worked fine for me..

This works, thanks.

Code: 
[CMD="psearch"]> psearch -nl mysql-workbench[/CMD]

This one is funny:
Code: 
> sudo portinstall gdk-pixbuf2
** No such package or port: gdk-pixbuf2

Really?
Code: 
> sudo portinstall gdk-pixbuf\*
--->  Found 2 ports matching 'gdk-pixbuf*':
	graphics/gdk-pixbuf
	graphics/gdk-pixbuf2
** Found already installed package(s) of 'graphics/gdk-pixbuf': gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0_11
** Found already installed package(s) of 'graphics/gdk-pixbuf2': gdk-pixbuf-2.22.1
