The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
Elephant - cuz it's phat - is a powerful data provider service and backend for building custom application launchers and desktop utilities. It provides various data sources and actions through a plugin-based architecture, communicating via Unix sockets and Protocol Buffers. Elephant acts as a unified backend service that aggregates data from various sources (desktop applications, files, clipboard history, etc.) and provides a consistent interface for frontend applications like custom launchers, productivity tools, or desktop widgets.
