Xramm,
According to what you said, you are looking for:
1) Search for a pattern into a file name.
2) At the end, display the total size of all files with pattern in their name.
Based on your specification, here is one solution not having to read the
entire file to find how many characters it has -- very useful for large files.
Code:
typeset -i mSize
typeset -i mTotal=0
mPattern='core'
for mFile in `find . -type f -name "*${mPattern}*"`
do
  mSize=`ls -l $mFile | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f5`
  mTotal=${mTotal}+${mSize}
done
echo 'Total size of '$pattern' is '${mTotal}

rapt-file

RAPT-FILE(1)															      RAPT-FILE(1)

NAME

       rapt-file - APT package searching utility -- search remotely

SYNOPSIS

       rapt-file [ options ] [ action ] [ pattern ]

DESCRIPTION

       rapt-file  is  a command line tool for searching files in packages for the APT package management system.  It differs from apt-file in that
       it works with remote package indices, so it doesn't need to download full Contents files.

       find   Alias for search.

       list   List the contents of a package matching the pattern pattern. This action is very close to the dpkg -L  command  except  the  package
	      does not need to be installed or fetched.

       search Search in which package a file is included. A list of all packages containing the pattern pattern is returned.

	      rapt-file will only search for filenames, not directory names.  This is due to the format of the Contents files it searches.

       show   Alias for list.

OPTIONS

	  -a, --architecture architecture
	      Sets architecture to architecture. This option is useful if you search a package for a different architecture from the one installed
	      on your system.  It determines how the $ARCH variable in sources.list is expanded (but it does not influence the search in any other
	      way).

	  -l, --package-only
	      Only display package name; do not display file names.

	  -v, --verbose
	      Run rapt-file in verbose mode.

	  -h, --help
	      Display a short help screen.

FILES

       /etc/apt/sources.list
	      Locations to fetch package contents from.

       /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
	      Directory with additional sources.list snippets
