There's also 'dlocate' available, which searches all installed packages much more quickly than 'dpkg -S'. And if you often have .deb's lying around which aren't installed (if you removed or updated packages), it's not hard to make a locate-like DB which indexes them, see the 'flocate' tool in my directory in experimental.
