Greetings,

Is there a way to limit Pacman to search package names only, rather than
package names and descriptions?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Querying_package_databases says
that you can do that by tweaking the search term, but that doesn't
really work.

As a [horrible] workaround, I could write my own script atop pacman -Qq,
but, well, yuck.  :-)

Thanks,
Dan
