Just type 'yum' without parameters, to get a list of possibilities. I think 'yum list' may be what you are looking for. (I don't have Fedora or CentOS on this laptop so I can't check.)
No CentOS or Fedora ... is there any other OS out there besides these two??? I have heard rumors of others, but I don't believe it :D
Or
yum provides <package name or string>
One new behavior is important ... if you are looking for a file name that is part of a string, you have to use wildcards:
yum provides libkholidays.so
(this give NOTHING)
yum provides *libkholidays.so
or
yum provides '*libkholidays.so'
those will return the answer of: "kdepim.i386 : PIM (Personal Information Manager) for KDE"
