3 is ok, becouse of lua, abs, git and many other names. But right now, I can do `aur search a` and the result is 8130 names. Or searching with short words should be allowed, but the result has to be cut to smaller amount of data. You can search giving the single char, but you'll get only 50 first names.

{ "type" : "search" , "results":ReturnData, "cut" : ("yes"|"no"), }

This is a good idea, but instead of cut being boolean I would make it an integer. Zero (or less) would mean no cut and anything larger would mean cut at that number.

Seems like a bad idea to me.
