The tools eix esearch provide superior functionality to emerge -s.

They are faster (especially eix), produce more results (show even masked versions, or all versions in eix), and easier to use (it is documented how to match package categories).

Perhaps it would be a good idea to mention them in the Gentoo System Guide?

I did not find anything about them there.
