Intranet and OPAC searches (title, subject, keyword) should give the option of
searching for a specific phrase, either by marking the search as a phrase
search* or by using quotes or some other grouping notation**.  So, for instance,
a title phrase search for "house plans" (in quotes) would search only for titles
in which the word 'house' was adjacent to the word 'plans' (perhaps ignoring
stopwords like 'and' and 'the'?)

* Example: http://137.92.16.10/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSG/OPAC/TITLE.HTM

** using a phrase delimiter like quotes is ideal because it allows you to mix
single keywords with phrases: A keyword search for 'budget "home plans"' would
search for records which contained the single keyword 'budget' and the phrase
'home plans' in the title, subject, notes, etc.
