This is because files don't have a "description" property :-) You can search inside a file's "Note". Volumes have a description property though (the magnifier icon in the main window suggests this keyword).

My time is very limited so it's very unlikely I'll ever change the search dialog, tbh. However, Basenji is open source so nobody would stop you from making it fit your your needs yourself :-)

Btw, in case you didn't know, there's a tool called volume-scanner-daemon (package volumedb-tools) in the daily ppa which can automate and speed up indexing of large collections. The tool monitors a specific drive for media changes and automatically scans inserted media (it also ejects the media already). See http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/basenji-gets-scanner-daemon-which.html for details.
