I don't understand why some people are against such helpers.
Without veering too far off this thread's topic, there's a large number of discussions on the web which cover this.
So assumed there would be a helper that provides the kind of search you need, you won't use it, as a matter of principle and because there are freakish discussions about helpers?
Is opposition to AUR helpers really so hard to believe? A few years ago, there were a lot of people posting comments about "the build system being broken" when they were actually experiencing bugs in yaourt. More on topic: if this gets implemented, I will again ask for typeahead suggestions to be removed as they would not be very good at predicting all the regex searches that can be tried.
