Sweet script, it always bothered me the way pacman -Ss formatted its output. The check you do for zenity has a minor problem, though. Instead of "if which zenity > /dev/null..." it needs to be "if which zenity &> /dev/null...", the former doesn't redirect error output. Anyway, very well done, thanks for the script!

You are correct sir! I guess the only reason it wasn't the default is that I did the script on my laptop so vertical space was at a premium :p
I have to rework the options anyway to add an option to disable the zenity list so I'll redo the line spacing default as well.
Right now I have the script testing for zenity with which and then displaying the zenity --list by default if zenity is installed. What's your vote? Should zenity be off by default and then enabled with an option?. It is light enough to work well even over ssh connections, so my thought was to just leave it enabled by default and add a flag to disable it if it wasn't wanted......
