OneLake Catalog full-text and content search

Why is it not possible to search OneLake by item description or even content? So I was thinking about how a user can find a table if they don't know in which lakehouse it is located? Why can't you search the description to be able to only find a fabric item by its (sometimes "cryptic") name but by a description? 
Use-Case: I want to have a data mesh where people can make data sets available and share them easily. So how can someone find the lakehouse where financial data is shared (when the lakehouse is called FinRep) or where to find dim_account? Is this always a case for Purview? No way that we can make that available in Fabric directly?

I know I made a Dim_Date table in a Lakehouse... But which Lakehouse was it? And what workspace?

 

I'd love to be able to search for tables in OneLake Catalog in Fabric.
