In the ovirt-engine search box, it should be possible to search on the description property for objects which have it. Also make sure that the auto-completion feature suggests 'description' where appropriate. The objects which need to be updated are: VMs, Templates, and Storage Domains.
oVirt 3.4.0 alpha has been released including the fix for this issue.
Verified in ovirt-engine-3.4.0-0.5.beta1.el6.noarch. I created one of each following entities with description "my description": data center, cluster, logical network, storage, disk, VM, pool, template. Then I ran these search queries (also for the other entities beside 'Datacenter'): Datacenter: description = "my description" Datacenter: description = "my descr*" Datacenter: description = "*description" Datacenter: description = "*descr*" Datacenter: description != "something else" Datacenter: description != "something*" Datacenter: description != "*else" Datacenter: description != "*thing*" dAtAcEnTeR: description = "my description" Datacenter: dEsCrIpTiOn = "my description" Datacenter: description = "My DeScRiPtIoN" dAtAcEnTeR: dEsCrIpTiOn = "My DeScRiPtIoN" All returned the given entity. I encountered problems when using some special characters in the query, but it seems to be a more general problem of the search engine itself, filed separately as bug 1062351.
