aurman: Search the package database for a keyword from the official repositories and AUR.
$ aurman --sync --search ${keyword}
try on your machine

This command is used to search for packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) using the 'aurman' package manager. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • 'aurman': It is the name of the package manager being used.
  • '--sync': This flag is used to specify the package synchronization operation, which involves searching, downloading, and updating packages.
  • '--search': This flag specifies that we want to perform a search operation to find packages.
  • '${keyword}': It is a placeholder for a specific keyword you want to search for. Replace '${keyword}' with the actual keyword you are interested in. For example, if you want to search for the keyword 'firefox', then replace '${keyword}' with 'firefox'.

When you run this command with the specified keyword, 'aurman' will search the AUR for packages that match the keyword and display the results in the terminal. These results can help you identify and choose the packages you want to install from the AUR.
