esearch for indexed emerge searches
# emerge -pv esearch
The usage for this is just like with emerge --search search_term, but I make an alias alias es="esearch" so that I can search with es search_term. Just like with locate and running updatedb you have to run eupdatedb. If you run esync it will show you the new packages that will be added to the index. (I'm not a 100% sure on that though -- that's just from reading the man pages briefly. man esync).
