Also, you won't find any packages anywhere that have ' in the actual name. Arch package names use lowercase letters and numbers only.

Yes, but the description is sometimes more useful than the package name, and that can have such characters, right?
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.
