Allow filter on Organic groups: Group: Description

+1 (subcribing)

Yes I feel the same that this filter is missing. I want my users to be able to search both in the node Title (groupname) as well as the Group description.

We too needed to filter on group description as well as name; turns out this is really straightforward given that description is a textfield defined in the views.inc. All that the definition needed was a way to handle the field as a filter - which is a string type.

Note: could not upload a file right now...

Here is a patch which additional allows to sort by the description.
This might not be a common use case but there is no real reason why you shouldn't (beside the speed).
Afaik this key is there to define non-simple fields like some which extends views_handler_field_prerender_list, which can't sort.

This patch allows to sort by default, too.

Slight text change, Otherwise solid.
