Looking at that GitHub issue, it seems like the prefix match would not help here, though. We would need to implement proper version comparison support. I still do not see why this should be done as part of the search request, though. The clients should have access to vercmp(8) or a proper native version comparison implementation and adding a simple check after retrieving the search results should be quite easy. > > [1] https://github.com/falconindy/auracle/issues/3
