make search uses the INDEX, and that doesn't contain any information
about the files installed by ports.
Building a file index might be possible, but it would be several times
the size of the existing INDEX and take correspondingly longer to
generate. Also, you'ld probably want it as a sqlite database or BDB
file for performance, rather than plain text.
