i use debian on some remote servers and, thankfully found this, which i immediately installed https://github.com/icy/pacapt because i have no idea how to successfully use apt. plus, i hate the formatting. so, nala is a positive, for sure!
I tried Arch Linux for the first time

You can do --sync --search but that isn't much better. There is this neat tool however: https://github.com/icy/pacapt I recently used it because I was in a hurry and had not time to read up on SLES and an ancient CentOS install I was forced to deal with. But I guess you had the opposite in mind.
Why is it so hard to take a screenshot!?

The Arch Rosetta page spawned the lovely https://github.com/icy/pacapt , which is an automated form I use everywhere despite not actually having used Arch in years.
Now try with a package from AUR
