Describe the Feature/Enhancement

ABS's current search engine only searches for keywords in titles. I'd like the search engine to also search for keywords in podcast descriptions to find items that aren't necessarily listed in the titles.

Why would this be helpful?

Both search engines should also look for text in the descriptions boxed in red below in the screenshot

The other issue already has 7 upvotes so it should stay the primary. It is a straightforward enough issue to keep the old I think.
