In the Function Wizard > Search field > type-in "text" (without quotation
marks). The function is named exactly that, it is the complete name of the
function, and yet I am being forced to scroll down the resulting list in order
to select it. This was not the case before tdf#146781, which was supposed to be
optional, not forced.

While tdf#146781 was supposed to be an improvement for newcomers, most Calc
users should be able to advance. At that point, all non-newcomer users are not
having a better experience, but a worse one.

Please allow common users to have the prior behavior (i.e. not to include the
description in the search). Once in a while, I might need to search the
description too (for instance, for functions that I use less frequently, or
functions that I don't know so well yet), but that is not the most frequent
case. I would like to be able to toggle between these situations.

BTW, the Side Panel for Functions (which does not search in descriptions) has
been improved (and receives its own GSoC project), while the Function Wizard is
relatively neglected. The quality in terms of UX and efficiency of the FW in
Calc is already much lower than other spreadsheet tools. Forcing on users an
unnecessary long list is not an improvement for the majority of Calc users
(unless you want to consider Calc relevant only for newbies).

Please allow the toggle (as tdf#146781 was supposed to), instead of the forced
search.
