Feature request for newsgroups description support. For example: "alt.home.cleaning" has the description "for cleaning all sorts of household items". By typing 'household' in the search field, you would also get this group in the results. Now you don't. As it is, lots of newsgroups are hidden/lost due to lack of description support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a news account
2.Go to the subscribe window
Actual Results:  
No descriptions to be found.


For example, on "rec.crafts.textiles.sewing", the description "Sewing: clothes, furnishings, costumes etc." should be visible (and searchable).
