Installing all packages within given name

Hello! I have looked around for a way to install all the fortune-mod packages  without having to type in the name of every single one. What I'm looking for is sort of like what you can do with "apt-get "package"-*", and apt will select all packages with that name. Is there a way to do this with pacman?
