. and the AUR " Browse all AUR packages "

Does a terminal emulator count as a graphical tool? It is a program with a GUI that runs in a window in a desktop session, so it should count, I think.
If it counted, that would solve a lot of requests for GUI stuff…

i tried to copy the name from the website of arch offcial repo. but some times it’s not accpeted

There are lots of ways to search for packages, but the simplest procedure is: yay pkgname - where pkgname contains what you know of its name. Yay will then present a list of pkgs matching that, with numbers beside for your choice to be made. For example, if you heard of kid3 (music tagging app) it might go like this:
┌06:42:20 WD= [~]
└───freebird@nest ─▶$ yay kid3
