It does work with multiple words, although I don't understand how: it's a
black box.
For example, the record for "Blackout : World War II and the origins of film
noir / Sheri Chinen Biesen" in
http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=1272
If you click on "film" in the subtitle, you will get "film noir."
But I don't understand how it works. Also, if you click on names, you might
get your person, but you might get the soccer/football star. In any case, in
the box, there is: Match: film noir and others. Here, you can click on
"others" and get some choices.
