Archlinux/Pacman list installed packages with description

Writer Matthew Harrington

How do I list installed packages (by user) with a short description?

When I search for packages to install: pacman -Ss zsh, I get following result:
extra/zsh 5.7.1-1 [installed] A very advanced and programmable command interpreter (shell) for UNIX
I would like to get the same result using something like pacman -Qe.
