[aur-dev] Regexp Support for AUR package search; wouldn't it be nice?

Hi, I did a `grep -R LIKE aur-1.6.0` and it seems to me that changing
four of those LIKE's to RLIKE would add Regexp support for package
search.
Currently, the only "regexp" supported by AUR are % and _. I think AUR
should really somehow grow some support for real regular expressions.
I'm not aware of any issue this may introduce, except for a little bit
heavier on resources; adding a timeout on queries should avoid shitty
regexp queries as well.
I'm sorry I have zero experience in PHP, or I would have done a patch
for this.
