Its not actually a bug. You are looking at pacman interpreting regular expressions, so '+' is a special character. You'll note that if you escape it like the following (and use quotes) it will work fine. pacman -Ss "dvd\+rw"
Perhaps pacman should search for both the regex and non-regex version? Most people wouldn't complain about getting extra results they didn't expect (i.e. all the regex matches here), but most _would_ complain if they didn't get what they wanted. Scott
