uhm, why? eix already provides that functionality, btw
And so does esearch. Nice. And how do I tell? Neither Gentoo handbook nor the portage man page tells me about that.
What's your point? The portage handbook is not the place to document non-existing functionality. I still don't see how this is particularly helpful, so maybe you want to give a reasoning for your feature request.
No, it shouldn't report masked ebuilds, because it would be confusing and cause bugs to be filed about emerge not picking up the latest available version (while that version in *not* available to the user, given his ACCEPT_KEYWORDS setting). It already does search for masked ebuilds, just doesn't show them if there's an ebuild matching keywords set by user available: # emerge -s gkrellm-trayicons Searching...

Perhaps mentioning eix and esearch in gentoo system documentetion would be a good idea?
old dupe. Proposal is a bit to specialized, if at all should be a configurable "alternate" version (e.g. to also ignore p.mask or EAPI masks). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11739 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11739 ***
