[Solved] Recommend a package with pacman for "Command Not Found"

Is there a way to get Pacman to recommend a package name like in ubuntu, for example:

If I were to type in a terminal ifconfig and it said "Command not found"
Could Pacman recommend the package net-tools?

The pkgtools package will do this for you.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pkgtools for instructions on how to set it up.
