[SOLVED]Combined pacman -Ss and pacman -Q
Is there a way for me to search for all the installed packages using pacman.
Currently if I do pacman -Ss networkmanager. I get a long list related to that search word and it also shows what packages I have installed(three in my case).
If I do pacman -Q networkmanager. It only shows packages with that exact name(in my case one).
I want to know if I can make pacman -Ss filter out all the packages that I haven't installed.

Okay. I ave to get used to reading the manual a bit more thoroughly. For anyone who might come across this.
You can do it by writing
pacman -Qs [search string]Offline

Re: [SOLVED]Combined pacman -Ss and pacman -Q
pacsearch
Edit: that is -Ss and -Qs combined. Which is what I thought was wanted by the title. Turns out not so much...

pacman -Qh
Which keyboard layout are you using? s and h aren't even close 
Or is it a new option not in stable?

Re: [SOLVED]Combined pacman -Ss and pacman -Q
-Qh simply displays help for -Q. Duh. Your reply is a bit too abstruse, in my opinion. I don't often object to "RTFM" type answers, but I might make an exception here.

Ah, I see it now. I couldn't see it under the QUERY OPTIONS section of the man page, because -h isn't tied to a particular operation.
