Hi,
package groups (for example: xfce4-goodies) can be installed with pacman, but when searching for them on http://archlinux.org/packages/ they do not appear.

Can they be included on the web interface?
This task depends upon

Groups are pacman meta, and are not real packages existing in the package database.
The web system does not show them.

Pacman shows them with a 'pacman -Sg' command.

Not having them in the web interface is suboptimal, but I think the underlying changes required negatively outweigh the benefit of providing them at this time.
