Using the web interface to search for a package can be quite
painful: If one searches for a program with spaces in the
name, that program will often not show up. The reason is
often due to the hyphenization of the package names. For
instance, searching for "hotline miami" brings up no results
even though there are two packages that it should return:
'hotlinemiami' and 'hotline-miami-gog'. So then one must
awkwardly pick and choose what search terms to use to get a
useful result. A fuzzier search match would be very
beneficial.
Using pacaur to search brings back expected results. This has led me to put package names in descriptions of some packages because they'd be difficult to search for otherwise. |

SOUNDEX is not very useful, it has tons of false positives.
