Where is pcregrep?

Support Software & Applications

Can’t seem to find pcregrep for Manjaro. Nor pcre2grep. Nor pcre-tools etc.
Where should I look?
I read the man pages for pacman, did not see how to add repositories if that is what I need.
Thanks in advance.

/usr/bin/pcregrep is provided by package pcre
