To get feedback while searching instead of using another utility for
this purpose, whether the desired packages are installed. You can see
example for it in case of yaourt.

I submitted a similar patch 1 year and a half ago, but it was never accepted :
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00109.html
So I am afraid you are stuck with yaourt / pacsearch / any other
pacman wrapper to get that feature.
Well... this is nothing if not persistent given Laslo had a bug report
closed as "Won't Implement" for this feature request...
So lets take a step back and see why this feature was dismissed. As far
as I can tell, it was rejected because it is slower as we need to parse
the local db as well as the sync db - of course only applies before the
local db is cached.
I actually had Xavier's patch bookmarked because I was going to revisit
this idea with this awesome suggestion.... How about adding a
configuration option called "SearchLocal" or something that directs
whether this is enabled.
