eix can access Gentoo portage ebuild information and description very quickly (using a local cache). It can also be used to access information on installed packages, local settings, and local and external overlays, and informs about changes in the tree
I'm using --only-in-overlay since a while an it works for me.
For unknown reasons, today, with a new overlay (never used before) it does not work. The only difference I can see is that it has the first letter of the overlay name is uppercase:
~ $ portageq envvar PORTDIR_OVERLAY
/opt/Drauthius
~ $ eix -e dev-games/aseprite
* dev-games/aseprite
