Something I've wondered for a while, is there any site out there that
allows you to search by filename to find what package a file belongs
to for a particular distribution? One of the many things I've loved
about Debian for years is their packages.debian.org site which among
other things allows exactly that. It's so handy.

Unless yum or some other tool provides this information(I'm not
aware of any tool that can provide this.

I still refer to packages.debian.org when I'm trying to find what
package I need for a particular file, despite it being Debian at
least I can get an idea what the source of the file is and can try
to track down an equivalent for CentOS/RHEL/Fedora.

And to be clear, I'm not talking about the rpm -q -f <file> command,
I'm talking about finding package names for files that are NOT
installed on your system(s). I suppose I could do rpm -q -l -p <package>
for each and every RPM, and maintain that list, but that'd also
assume that I have every RPM, which I may not(base distro RPMs
aside).
