https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=intel-parallel-studio-xe&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go - is not found by AUR web.

EDIT: It's a package base https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=b&K=intel-parallel-studio-xe&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go

We currently do not support search by package base and aur rpc doesn't either https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aurweb_RPC_interface

I would like to implement this, but I don't see how

So, it is a bug of AUR?

Can we reopen this issue? I'd like to see support for pkgbases added.

unstale

I'm setting it as approved as I'd like to see this feature, but this needs to be implemented upstream (from previous research and a fast test right now 2022/02/11)

EDIT.PS: setting it as approved will stop stale bot from going rogue

Thanks!

Closing as this has not been implemented by the RPC, this would be possible to implement in the metadata client but would cause it to have a "by" extension that the RPC client does not support
