More often than not it just returns the Gentoo USE flag description.
Either from g.o itself, or g-p.com which duplicates the same description.

Every now and then you get real lucky and there's a post on f.g.o that
comes close to telling you what it does.

That was why I said "if anything". Usually, I get just what you are describing which gives about zero help.

That said, with the limits the description has, I'm not sure how to improve it. It doesn't have much room to expand.
