I just recently noticed that the wildcards have been disabled in aur-1.9.1 - which is a pity, since it has removed some fairly useful functionality.

<shameless bump> If you want something that's actually good at searching the AUR, I suggest using cower. It hackishly implements regex and boolean AND'd results. I've been very happy with it. </shameless bump>
There are at least two utilities i know of that currently use this feature - package-query (which is used by yaourt), and pkgbrowser. The main reason for my asking about this, is that I sometimes use the former two utilities - and I am the author of the latter one :)
