Can you search by image description yet in lightroom?

[Seb29]

I know this has been a much requested feature, but any chance this will be released soon? We need to be able to search by image description. For example, we would enter "front door of a house" and photos showing a front door of a house would be displayed from our catalogue without having previously been Tagged that way. Also, we should be able to search similar images.  

Excire Search has this as a plugin but this should certainly be included as a feature to the Lightroom product by now.

This question has wider implications and I look forward to hearing the answer

Adobe never tell us in advance about possible new features. So we don't know (and the few people who do know are not allowed to say).

Understood however most would agree it's a long overdue and basic need.

I disagree, it is not a basic need for me, and probably others would say the same. Whether or not "most" would agree is impossible to determine. So ... you have made a claim that cannot be supported.
