There are a few commands for pacman that I tend to forget but find really useful. A full list can be found in the Arch Wiki.
# Search for a package to install
pacman -Ss <package>
# Search locally to see if a packge is already installed
pacman -Qs <package>
# List all packages which have been installed locally i.e. downloaded from the aur.
pacman -Qm
# list packages no longer required as dependencies
pacman -Qdt
# Remove a package and its dependencies
pacman -Rs <package>
