Ok, im feeling really dumb, but how do I search for packages using multiple words in a single string? For example if I do the command "pacman -Ss session manager" it will return a huge list of all packages with the word session and all packages with the word manager, but what i really want to see is the smaller list of only the packages that contain the entire exact string session manager.

Here you go:
pacman -Ss "session manager"

Or: pacman -Ss session\ manager

or if you remember two words put somewhere you can use
pacman -Ss 'session.*manager'
this will get also `session great manager' for example.

My fault. I'm actually using yaourt because i need to search the aur. With yaourt none of these seem to work for me. They do seem to work with pacman, what is different?

For me yaourt does the trick if you use ezzetabi's example ('session.*manager'). However, for 'session manager' only it doesn't.
You could try packer (in AUR). I just tried all three of them and packer seems to also look for the two words together only if you use '... ...' only.
