I like it too... but I don't see anything that allows it to look inside the
packages to see which filenames are present. As far as I can see, it only
allows searches in package names and descriptions, but not their actual
contents.

Nope.

Try, for example:
  sudo apt-cache search /usr/bin/make

No results returned.
