Homebrew version on my Mac:
Homebrew 2.5.0-84-g9e697bd
Take github (Cask for GitHub Desktop) for example, this is the cask file located in /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask/Casks/github.rb:
cask "github" do
version "2.5.5-f57dc10d"
sha256 "fe39c280c746b66d13dbcc5acfeb946f77b680954ecda2bf29a560a98a9d2638"
# githubusercontent.com/ was verified as official when first introduced to the cask
url "https://desktop.githubusercontent.com/releases/#{version}/GitHubDesktop.zip"
appcast "https://github.com/desktop/desktop/releases.atom"
name "GitHub Desktop"
desc "Desktop client for GitHub repositories"
homepage "https://desktop.github.com/"
auto_updates true
app "GitHub Desktop.app"
binary "#{appdir}/GitHub Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app/static/github.sh", target: "github"
zap trash: [

],
rmdir: "~/.config/git"
end
The Cask file has a desc field, and it's value is Desktop client for GitHub repositories.
However, when I do brew search --desc github or brew search --cask --desc github, I only get github: GitHub Desktop, the desc field isn't included.
Sometimes the desc field provides valuable information about a cask. So I wonder if there's a way to make desc included when doing brew search --desc for casks? Thanks!
