DetailsIt's currently difficult to search for packages like dvd+rw because pacman -Ss treats it like regex. One solution would be to search for both non-regex and regex versions of the string in these instances with the assumption that users won't mind getting more results than they expect (i.e. regex results when they wanted non-regex results), but would be annoyed but not finding what they are searching for.
