The cygcheck -p function simply queries cygwin.com, exactly the same as if you went to http://cygwin.com/packages/ and entered the search string there. In other words, all the searching happens server-side. There is no one file that contains this information, it is stored in a large number of separate files which can be displayed as e.g. <http://cygwin.com/packages/cygwin/cygwin-1.5.24-2>. I know of no way to simulate this package search method offline.
