Searching in the Keywords Field
All of the fields in the Find Box, except the Keywords field, search for matches only within their own/same categories. The Keywords field seeks matches in the Keywords fields as well as in both of the Comments fields. For example, if you type "Coffee" into the Keywords field, the list of matches may contain books with "Coffee Stain" in the comment field, books with "Coffee Table" as a descriptive comment, and any books with "Coffee" as a keyword.
