Using KRunner, you can directly search the AUR. That URL is the URL for the AUR - and this post is about ‘trouble updating from AUR’.
I’m curious why you think this URL does not make any sense.
However, when you post - we want to understand if any errors persist with your system…
4 Days ago you stated ‘none of those lines of code worked at all’. You don’t quote original posts when you reply, so context is being lost… You can select and QUOTE like this:
You see the problem here - WE CANNOT SEE what ‘came up’. So not only is it nothing to you, but we can’t see it either.
Can I ask you to fix my bike, without sending you an image, or detailed information?

So you can try opening Konsole. I choose Konsole because you can SELECT text with the mouse, you can COPY and then paste text here.
When pasting text here, type three ‘tilde’ like this:
~~~⏎Enter
^ControlV to paste the code
~~~⏎Enter
So if someone says:
you can try this: sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu
We need to see what happens.

sudo pacman-mirrors -f
sudo pacman -Syu
Now, after pasting the LONG output from the terminal, I also selected to HIDE it:
You can also click the 
icon in this webpage editor, and select ‘Hide Details’ for longer outputs… you can select the text and click this to hide something you already pasted.

If this fails, then the next suggestion is from our own SuperGuru (who sometimes posts very complicated fixes for things we assume are simpler - but who can be trusted not to post things that ‘do not work’).
pacman -Qqm > ~/alien-pkgs.txt
This creates a list of packages from AUR and pastes them into a text file.
Now you have a FULL LIST of your AUR packages, and can REMOVE them all using that list:
sudo pacman -R $(pacman -Qqm)
Then you should have no trouble running this:
sudo pacman -Syu
Then, once you have success, you must look at the file ~/alien-pkgs.txt to see what has been removed. Perhaps you want to re-install some of those packages.
You must COPY and PASTE these commands into Konsole. Then you must COPY and PASTE the text from Konsole and paste them back here.
- This does not have to mean anything to you, you do not need to understand everything…
My post later on addresses the common problem that we get confused between ‘pamac’ and ‘pacman’ and mix up ‘sudo pamac -Syu’ or ‘sudo pacman upgrade’… getting old means things get fuzzy, and having dyslexic tendencies means we start making stupid mistakes.
When we start getting into a mess, we must very carefully, step by step, take action to fix the mess. I hope you will succeed if you haven’t already given up.
