Pacman/trizen - search for exact packagename (duc)

Hallo,
i want to search for the package 'duc' (AUR) with trizen. When i do trizen -Ss duc i get way too many entries (because actually it searches for *duc*). I can filter most out with trizen -Ss duc |grep /duc but there are still too many packages listed that are not of interest.
How can i do an exact or regular expression search with pacman/trizen eg. like trizen -Ss ^duc or trizen -Ss .*/duc? I need a command that just lists this one 'duc' package.

Any ideas?

Use a better tool:

┌─[Veles ~]
└─╼ auracle search ^duc$
aur/duc 1.4.3-1 (5, 0.10)
    A library and suite of tools for inspecting disk usage.

Or, uh, don't use a search at all if you only want the exact match.

pacman -Si duc ==> trizen -Si duc
