Question How does LW match search parameters w/ files found?

I often see files of mine being uploaded that make me think, what was somebody searching for that made them find *this file*? F'rinstance somebody might be dl-ing a file from me called 12.jpg or bhlju.wav or some other totally generic file name that gives absolutely no hint as to what's in the file. I've checked and there's no meta-data *that I'm aware of* in such files--I'm no expert at recognizing meta-data though.

It's cool; I'm sharing these files so it's good that somebody wants them. But I'd like to know what LW--or whatever client the searcher is using--sees on my Mac's HD that tells them that a genericly-named file matches what they're searching for. Does it have something to do with the name(s) of the folder(s) where the files are located? Or maybe the names of folders that I've set up in my Sharing prefs?
