Short answer: you want '~i!~M' (you don't need the quotes in interactive mode). Long answer: 1. '&' doesn't have any special meaning in this case, so you're looking for installed packages that contain '&' in the name :) 2. ~A is the short version of ?archive (e.g. "unstable"), not ?automatic. You might want to read the aptitude reference manual, section "Search patterns". See the package aptitude-doc-en.
