pacaur: Search the package database for a keyword (includes AUR).
$ pacaur -Ss ${keyword}
try on your machine

The command "pacaur -Ss ${keyword}" is used to search for packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) using the pacaur package manager.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • The "pacaur" command is a package manager specifically designed for Arch Linux and its derivatives. It is used to manage both official Arch Linux repositories and the AUR.

  • The "-Ss" option is used to search for packages. The "-S" option indicates that you want to synchronize and install packages, while the "-s" option stands for "search."

  • ${keyword} is a placeholder for the keyword you want to search for. Replace it with the actual keyword you're interested in. For example, if you want to search for packages related to audio, you would replace ${keyword} with "audio".

By running this command, pacaur will search for packages in the AUR that match the provided keyword and display the results. The search results will contain the names and descriptions of the packages.
