How to search for a file from the list of installed files of each package installed in the system

Question

Synaptic has the option to search from different sources (Package name, description, name and description, etc)... But if you have a package installed in your system, Synaptic can show you what files are attached to that installation.

So, what command can extract the list of all files generated by all installed packages to search on it?

For example, yesterday I wanted to know which packags have been installed ICC profiles in my system, but I have to do it manually (with Synaptic filters) reading all installed files of each installed packages... I don't know if there are more .ICC.

The sample output of the command I'm requesting is:

$ ./search --show-origin --show-package '*.icc'
buster-backports    krita          /usr/share/colors/icc/krita/cmyk.icc
buster              colord         /usr/share/colors/icc/colord/sRGB.icc
bullseye            ghostscript    /usr/share/colors/icc/ghostscript/ps_cmyk.icc

You could search for filenames in packages with dpkg -S:

          -S, --search filename-search-pattern...
              Search for a filename from installed packages.

$ dpkg -S '*.icc'
