In what context? We could add it to the API filter, but adding it to the general device search would probably return too many results. For example, searching for "core" in devices would also return all devices with an interface named "Uplink to core."

I was thinking to use it for cable labels, I know you are working on the big project #20, I also know it will gonna take some time on this one, so mean time i was thinking to add description of the cable id on both sides of interfaces, so when i go to rack in our dc and type cable id i am trying to find both ends i can search and get both side of the cable

For example:
I have patch panel interface MMR1/B1/C1/P1 and Interface description of this port/interface: DC-01234
then I have device rt0.sal01.dc with port xe-2/0/1 and same interface description: DC-01234

so when i type in search DC-01234 it should return both ports or devices

is it something easy possible to do ?

we use pretty unique names for cables so search should only return interfaces to searched description ?

Many thanks Jeremy, really appreciate your work, netbox is a great software.

The interface description field is intended to hold the description configured on the device. I recommend against trying to repurpose it.
