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.
When ever yaourt failed to build for me, makepkg failed too, e.g.
regarding to a tmp issue. The only drawback I'm aware of is that yaourt
doesn't automatically informs you about "upgrades" of e.g. git
packages, likely it's not a drawback, but an advantage.
Run
pacman -Q | grep git
and decide on your own, if you want to upgrade one of those packages or
svn or ...

Assumed somebody can recommend a good helper to search the AUR, I'm willing to test it.
I don't know if any AUR helpers support this, but you can just get a list of all AUR packages with this command and then pipe to grep to match by regex.
curl http://cryptocrack.de/files/aurpkglist.txt.gz | zcat | awk 'NR>1{gsub("%2B","+");print $1}'
Thank you, that might help David too. His feature request anyway is a good idea.
