One unique method...
Download All of iCloud:
If you wanted to, you could download all of iCloud, and then search what is in there. Perform my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. You would then use the Search Bar in a Finder window to browse all of iCloud.
