It would be very helpful that you can search through the descriptions of a field... As long as we don't have a perfect Purview integration (where you can search the lineage of a field) a workaround would be that you provide the source name of a field in the description. So an end-user might use the "business terms" to identify a field, a more technical user might use the original name (from the source) for searching. Currently only the field name is searched when you leverage the search functionality, not the description. It would be great if i.e. we can see the field names found in the model first and then all descriptions where the search term was found as well...
