Searching inside a 7zip folder for a particular word in filename

Is it possible to search inside a 7zip folder (foldername.7z) for a particular word in a filename?

For instance, I have a 7z folder full of clipart images in different formats (PNG, JPG, BMP, etc.) There are filenames such as "Fence-with-cat-sitting-on-it.jpg", "windowsill_with_cat_looking_out.png", "DogCuddlingWithCat.bmp", and so on, each with different file type extensions. I'd like to search for every image type with the word "cat" in the name. Since "cat" is not at the beginning of some filenames I can't do it by merely sorting files alphabetically (I archive the files retaining their original names when downloaded.)

Can this be done, preferably without installing anything extra?

Thanks!

it is a good idea that you mention you tried to get help from some other forum and your issue still exists. The purpose is not to embarrass you. When you start following suggestions from different people at the same time things could get out of control. Even at this forum few members try to have more than one thread on the same subject which is against the rules.

Hopefully, some experienced member will respond to you.
