Summary and Info:

When entering an invalid package name in "pacman -S [pkgname]" the output is "error: target not found: [pkgname]".

But, it will be more convenient if pacman can ask if I want to search for the package name I entered.
for example:
"Target not found. Do you want to search for [pkgname]?[Y/n]"
This task depends upon
