Serching for a package in Repositories
Ok don't beat me, I've read the man page but I can't manage how to search for a package giving a string to pacman. For example, if I want to search all packages in db that contains *xfce*, what should I do?

pacman -Ss <package>(packages in repros.)
pacman -Qi | grep <package>(local)

For local repositories you can use:
pacman -Qs <pkgname>And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
