According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Searching it is possible to use mysql LIKE queries to search for a package. But I can't find packages if I use queries with "%".
For example, when I try to search for firefox%spell or firefox%spell%, I get nothing.
I expected those queries would return the same results as firefox-spell.
The question is: do LIKE queries work (or do I use them wrong)?

If you mean firefox spell, that doesn't work either.

As far as I understand, cower searches for all "firefox" packages and then searches for "spell" in results.
But that's not the point, all I wanted to say is that the documented feature doesn't seem to work. It would be great to have such a flexible search.

I guess there has been some hardening going on since the wiki was written and this feature has been lost on the way.
