Worse - no libcurl{4,-devel,-doc} even if you query explicitly:

$ cygcheck -p libcurl
Found 0 matches for libcurl
$ cygcheck -p libcurl4
Found 0 matches for libcurl4
$ cygcheck -p libcurl-devel
Found 0 matches for libcurl-devel
$ cygcheck -p libcurl-doc
Found 0 matches for libcurl-doc
$ cygcheck -p usr/include/curl/curl.h
Found 0 matches for usr/include/curl/curl.h
$ cygcheck -p /usr/include/curl/curl.h
Found 0 matches for /usr/include/curl/curl.h
$ cygcheck -f /usr/include/curl/curl.h
libcurl-devel-7.66.0-1
$ cygcheck -p curl
Found 9 matches for curl
curl-7.65.0-1 - Multi-protocol file transfer tool
curl-7.65.3-1 - Multi-protocol file transfer tool
curl-7.66.0-1 - Multi-protocol file transfer tool
mingw64-i686-curl-7.55.1-1 - cURL file transfer library for Win32 toolchain
mingw64-i686-curl-7.56.1-1 - cURL file transfer library for Win32 toolchain
mingw64-i686-curl-7.59.0-1 - cURL file transfer library for Win32 toolchain

mingw64-x86_64-curl-7.59.0-1 - cURL file transfer library for Win64 toolchain

or on the web site.

"The -p REGEXP matches package names, descriptions, and names of files/paths
within all packages."

Should at least list:

$ xzegrep -w '^(@ |sdesc: ").*curl' mirror/x86_64/setup.xz
@ curl
@ curl-debuginfo
sdesc: "Debug info for curl"
@ gambas3-gb-net-curl
@ gstreamer1.0-plugins-curl
@ libcurl-devel
@ libcurl-doc
@ mingw64-i686-curl
@ mingw64-x86_64-curl
@ php-curl
sdesc: "PHP curl extension"
$ zfgrep -l curl /etc/setup/*curl*.lst.gz
/etc/setup/curl.lst.gz
/etc/setup/libcurl4.lst.gz
/etc/setup/libcurl-devel.lst.gz
/etc/setup/libcurl-doc.lst.gz

The package hints and manifests may need repopulated and/or reindexed.
