Appreciate the interest in being able to search by description. While we're attentive to your feedback, I want to be open that we don't have any immediate plans for developing this atm.
We're staying close to feedback on how we can improve navigation for our customers when using Xero, and I'll let you know if there is any development planned surrounding this, here. Thanks

We try to include detailed item descriptions when creating bills from suppliers expecting this would make finding these items easy in future. We'll, I've just had to find a few things for an asset register and found that the global search ignores our descriptions!
This feels very unintuitive - in essentially all other web-apps we use, global search is a real global search.
For any others struggling with this, I did find a cumbersome workaround here: https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N00004JId6oSAD/how-do-i-search-by-transaction-description
