Something is not working right about the search box. Try typing in "hair". You will get two entries (first and last) that are relevant, but then also three in the middle that don't have the word "hair" anywhere in them, even when expanded to the full record. Something is amiss in the search, I think.
The MODS from those records "Letter to Titus Salt" do contain the word hair in their MODS, for example this is from the MODS description element:
Manufacturer who made his fortune by developing a method of using alpaca hair.

The search is being performed on the entire document. We can limit it to the fields shown by creating a specific search handler for that purpose if you'd like though.
I've made a list of 10 MODS fields to exclude from all searches. See attached.
Fields to exclude.txt
All other fields in the MODS records can be included.
It looks like this has been completed except for the mods:publisher field. If I do a search for "livingstone online" I get all the records in the catalogue.
When you search for livingstone onlineunquotedlivingstone will match against almost every record, and online will match against no records. If searching with "livingstone online" in quotes, no records are returned.
