Am trying to understand this query better through an example.
Title: 101 things I learned in business school
Author: Preis, Michael W.

In Free Text Search you should be able to retrieve results by querying
preis business school
Michael business
preis 101 things
(or such combinations)

Please confirm this

Good day!
I don't know if this is already registered as an issue in OPAC, but most of the time, a free text search of {keywords in title + author surname} doesn't show any result, when we know there's already an existing record (doesn't the free text mode search both the title and the author tags?). Also, a free text search of "word1 word2" has completely different results compared to the search "word2 word1" (It will be either no results found on the first one but the 2nd has results or vice versa). I was expecting that a free text search does not depend on the order of the keywords typed. If this is the normal behavior, then the Basic search by "Title" or "Author" is more reliable. (And indeed, it is what we usually use now, but we really want the old capabilities of Free Text mode back, wherein  it searches in any field.)
