I find blog posts about implementing stuff like OWIN integration or IAuthenticationFilter in Web API 2, but I can never work out what NuGet package(s) I need.
I seem to randomly Google stuff and look through GitHub projects, other blogs hoping for some clue.
Considering everything is going NuGet, is there a better way? A massive index of Package > Assembly > Types?

You can find packages directly at https://nuget.org/packages, or from the Visual Studio Package Manager UI or Package Manager Console with nuget.org as a source. All packages from nuget.org are routinely scanned for viruses.
Just build the class library by clicking the right click on solution explorer and you will see the NameOfLibrary. dll file in packages folder of your project directory.
Put simply, a NuGet package is a single ZIP file with the . nupkg extension that contains compiled code (DLLs), other files related to that code, and a descriptive manifest that includes information like the package's version number.
The default is %userprofile%\. nuget\packages (Windows) or ~/. nuget/packages (Mac/Linux). A relative path can be used in project-specific nuget.
There is exactly what you want and it's called reverse package search but only for ASP.NET 5 packages - at least for now. You can make your search here : Reverse Package Search
Example query: Search for System.String
