Are you sure about that?

The description of "yum search" in the manual says:
       search Is used to find any packages matching a string in  the  descrip-
              tion,  summary, packager and package name fields of an rpm. Use-
              ful for finding a package you do not know by name  but  know  by
              some word related to it.

It doesn't mention file names.

In case my example from Debian wasn't clear - "apt-file" will allow
searching by file-names through all repositories - including installed
and uninstalled pacakges.

Thanks,
