Can pacman search for 2 different keyword at the same time?

I'm sure this is possible, maybe not only with pacman (but grep or something)

The other day I was searching for a KDE image viewer.

pacman -Ss kde (about 3 pages of results)

pacman -Ss image (about 1 or 2 pages of results)

pacman -Ss kde | grep image (in some packages only the description is printed out, so I end up not knowing the package name)

Is there a better way to filter results? Maybe pacman could have something like a +, and one could do something like

pacman -Ss kde + image

ah! sweet thanks. I wonder why this didn't appear when I searched the forums. It's all about keywords I guess....

I use something like this

pacman -Ss one | grep -B 1 two

grep -B 1 prints one line before the line it grepped...
