In most cases that's part of a full-text search facility. In Ubuntu and derivatives (like Mint) it's part of the core system.

The usage is as follows (for example):
search for "Some Text String" -c -s
which would provide file names where you may find the text string you were looking for.

In debian derivatives the following command will tell you what package installed a particular file:
dpkg -S "filename" (e.g. dpkg -S /usr/local/bin/search)
