Currently, one has to look for the models available in the website (https://ollama.ai/library) so that it can be installed using

ollama run <MODEL>

OR

ollama pull <MODEL>

It would be better if there is a search command in the CLI app itself such that it can be used to search for models in the repository, similar to pacman -Ss command in arch linux.

I second this feature request. Would be nice not to have to switch to the browser to find a new model.
