Note
The emerge command's built-in search function described here may show limited results compared to other tools. The Latest version available is constrained by ACCEPT_KEYWORDS (derived from the current profile, make.conf, package.accept_keywords, etc.). In addition, the Latest version available and the Latest installed version are not slot-aware, so they will not show multiple versions by slot. This can lead to some confusion when tools like eix or eshowkw might show more results than emerge --search.
