Is it possible to search for a file using the checksum instead of the name?

Suppose I want to search if I have a file that matches the sha256 generated from the test1.txt file using the command:



sha256sum -b test1.txt


I get as output:




e3d748fdf10adca15c96d77a38aa0447fa87af9c297cb0b75e314cc313367daf * test1.txt




So, I want to find the files that match the checksum generated instead of using the name.



Is this possible?
