I like the idea but im not sure how big id really want the menu to be for the quick add menu, and descriptions can get long enough to make that a problem.
If you were trying to find nodes to use for the first time, wouldn't a tooltip description work better in the Library panel itself? That way it's always open and the thumbnails are bigger.

yes :)
For the add menu, I had other ideas:
I find them more pleasing than my first proposal and the bottom line option more or less solves the size problem, but since these use item_selected
to show the description, one would require to activate an item (double click it) to add a node.
However I don't know if this is a feature worth adding since the add menu shouldn't be a place to discover nodes but more like you open it with a given node in mind. imo a tooltip in the library panel would be enough.
I feel like having a description in the search menu is not needed. As mostly the nodes are straightforward and if not, it's better to look into docs.
Feature/enhancement description:
Nodes have descriptions of what they do built-in but they only show up in the node graph:
I feel like the use of a description is to help choose a node to begin with. For this reason, I think descriptions should be also shown both in the node list and context menu.
