Need a "force package db update" option?

I've been using pacseek as my package manager of choice on Endeavouros, and it's generally been great.

Recently I ran into a problem with a package that wouldn't install because the repo couldn't find the requested version. I was advised to run "pacman -Syyu" to fix it, which worked. Ideally this would be possible without leaving the pacseek interface.

The pacseek usage info does not seem to mention package list updates at all. I'm guessing the list is updated automatically (on program start?), but some info in the documentation would be helpful.

Also, would pacseek benefit from an option to force a package list refresh, equivalent to pacman's -yy option?

If so, please consider this an enhancement request.
