Since I received no replies, on or off list (no surprise, I usually don't),
to my question I might as well say that I figured it out myself; might have
spotted the problem earlier had I not been working when I should have been
asleep.

The problem is here:
s 'series title' & 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1
^
^
That ought to be:
s ' series title' & 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1
There reason the match was indicated only for 'subseries title' is that
'series title' is contained within 'subseries title'. ' series title'
is * not * contained within 'subseries title' and is what I should have
used. In case you don't spot the distinction:
'series title'
' series title'
which prevents the two terms from being interpreted as the same thing.
So that is taken care of. Now I've a question about searching in 1.8e
lists (AUTOCAT is still 1.8d), via email, but I'll save it for another
item. Douglas Winship [log in to unmask]
