Details
When searching by multiple arguments (e.g. 'git client'),
AUR site search seems to use AND operation, i.e. the search
results will contain 'git' AND 'client' (378 results total
at the moment).
How can the same be achieved by using AUR RPC? If I search for 'git client' (https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=git%20client), I get 2 results. If I provide both arguments separately (https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=git&arg=client), I get 1370 results - looks like OR operation is used. |

Plan for legacy + patch support:
A new API version 6 allows the user to take advantage of new search criteria: When searching with `v=6` by `name` or `name-desc`, return all packages containing _all_ keywords given (quoted substrings are preserved).
Examples:
Search for packages containing literal `blah blah`:
curl 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg="blah blah"'
Search for packages containing literal `blah blah` AND `ha ha`:
curl 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg="blah blah"%20"ha ha"'
Search for packages containing `blah` AND `hah`:
curl 'https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg=blah%20hah'
Using `v=5` preserves the current (legacy) behavior.
A message titled "[PATCH] Bump RPC API Version 6" has been submitted to aur-dev@archlinux.org regarding this task.
