How to search mods based on their true file names?

[vanderplate]

The way the term "file" is used on this site is inconsistent and is thereby confusing. So i first like to clarify that by file name i mean the name of the individual files that are downloadable on their respective mod pages.

 

So how do you search mods based on the names of the individual downloadable files? I ask this because whenever you haven't touched your mods for a while and like to clean up your mod collection you always come across mod files with generic names like "main-file.zip", "2k-assets.7z", "2k-textures.rar" etc. and you never know to what mod they belong nor are you able to reverse search them on Nexus or Google to find out.

 

If there's a way or an accessible database file (XML, JSON) with all mod files then i like to know. Thanks.
