basic pacman question

Searched the forum but I don't get any relevant results if I use two words.

I prefer adduser to useradd. I happen to know that it is part of the shadow package but how do I use pacman to search for it? Is there an equivalent of the query -o flag for sync? I didn't find anything enlightening in the man page.

@ Stebalien

Am still downloading it, takes a while with my epically slow connection

@ Mr.Elendig
No joy, even this link http://testnet.har-ikkje.net/kittyfile/ gives me a "Lol nothing here". Am I not getting something?

Re: basic pacman question

Using the archlinux.org / Duckduckgo search engine plugin to search for "find which package contains file" gives results. Just saying, if you find the forum search suboptimal .
