-p does an online search, and its results include packages that aren't
necessarily installed.

This is the correct syntax, and if it displays nothing then it means you
don't have the rxvt package installed.  You can see a list of what the
package management system thinks is installed with cygcheck -cd.  (Or
use cygcheck -c to test each package for completeness, but this takes
much longer.)
