Perhaps it should be a comments-like column so that it is searchable. Yes, it could be searchable anyway, but having the column would make that fact discoverable.

Searching the description raises the 'naked search' issue that we had to deal with in the library view: when I search for "foo", what columns are examined? I am not sure what the right answer is. It might be wise to limit naked terms to name, location, and formats, but that would force a user who wants to find stores with "mysteries" in the description to use something like description:"mysteries".

To save some real estate, you can show some of the description on the table. The entire description could popup in the mouse over.
