Re: [IUG] "Faceted" keyword searching

[Elizabeth Thomsen <et at noblenet dot org>]

Looks right to me.  I do a search on Puffins, and choose Maine from the 
"Limit by Subject" options, which gives me "puffins and d:(maine)" and the 
correct results, bibs with Maine in a subject context.  "puffins and 
t:(maine)" would be word within titles.

Andrew, this is really amazing -- great work!
