Hi. I recently switched to pacaur from yaourt, and was wondering if I can search repositories such as community, with pacaur.
For example, "yaourt zint" returns 3 results, 2 in community/ and 1 in aur/ , whereas "pacaur -s zint" only returns the one in aur/ repo.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

As Slithery points out, it is in the fine manual. but you probably have to read the pacman manual as well in order to understand what the "wrapped" pacman operations do.

If you add an "-r", it does not look in the AUR:
pacaur -Ssr zint
But the thing is, you could at that point just have used pacman itself:
pacman -Ss zint
The point of using "pacaur -Ss" instead of "pacman -Ss" is that it extends the search to the AUR.

thanks guys, yeah I've read the manpage but understanding pacman wrapped ops helped a lot. This is solved.
