TEXT/PLAIN (40 lines)
In archive searching via email this argument ought, I think, to require
a hit on BOTH (implied, need not be stated) the phrase 'series title' and
'subseries title'.  However, it seems to be ignoring the first argument,
'series title'.
  -------------------------------------
s 'series title' & 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1
-> 1 match.

6)  Serial section title or subseries title with initial article.
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   ------------------------------------

The search:
s 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1
produces precisely the same result.  However, the search

s "series title" & "subseries title" in autocat form 98/1/1

produces three hits, the first two, in the synopsis, showing hits
on both phrases, but the last is the same as for (above)

s 'series title' & 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1

and does *not* show a match for 'series title' but only for 'subseries title'
as above.

Why is this?
