There should be information about which filter is provided by which module at /admin/settings/filters/1.
At the moment I don't see any easy method to check that (if you have many of them).
You can search for the string like 'URL filter' in all your files (but not via FTP), so it not make sense.

Patch:

    $form['filters'][$id] = array('#type' => 'checkbox',
      '#title' => $filter->name, // line 394
      '#default_value' => isset($enabled[$id]),
      '#description' => module_invoke($filter->module, 'filter', 'description', $filter->delta),
    );

Change:

      '#title' => $filter->name,

into:

      '#title' => "$filter->name (provided by $filter->module)",
      '#title' => $filter->name . t(' Provided by %module_name', array('%module_name' => $filter->module)),
      '#title' => $filter->name . ' '. t('Provided by %module_name', array('%module_name' => $filter->module)),
      '#title' => $filter->name . t(' ') . t('(Provided by %module_name)', array('%module_name' => $filter->module)),
      '#title' => $filter->name . t(' ') . t('(Provided by %module_name module)', array('%module_name' => $filter->module)),

You can choose which one is correct:)
I don't know which one is in the standard one.

Actually this sounds interesting, I wonder where this shows up though? Also this is not really a standard?

I think this is a <=1% case. Usually, a filter is provided by a module that does nothing else except providing that filter, so it's already easy to find the corresponding module. Especially now that D8 has a type-to-search field on the modules page.
