How to find a package repo a executable is in?

I sometime want to install a tool which is not in the default package repositories. I know there are lots of other package repositories (like EPEL, GhettoForge, etc).

I don’t want to install and enable all of these just to search through them. How can I find out whether one of these repositories contains the executable or package in question? is there a website providing such a search?

You can try to use https://pkgs.org/. It provides information for repositories for quite a few distributions and third party repositories.
