dpkg -S does this on installed packages but is there a way to search for
a file in packages that aren't installed yet? Does apt store this
information?
I found http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages which works fine but was
wondering if there was a way to do it without a net connection.

No, but you could download dists/whatever/Contents-i386.gz (or similar
for other architectures) every so often

While not as exact as zgrep'ing the Contents-i386.gz file, as someone
