All search fields are unique except in the Serials module.
Here we have a ISSN field, and a Title field.

The search is performed by the GetSubscriptions in C4/Serials.pm.
The string typed in the Title zone is compared to the following fields:
biblio.title
subscription.callnumber
subscription.location
subscription.notes 
subscription.internalnotes

The string typed in the ISSN field is compared to:
biblioitems.issn
subscription.callnumber (again!)

The differences are not very significant, and the text accompanying the fields
(saying just ISSN and Title) are not consistent with the actual search process.

It would then probably be simpler to use only one input field, like it's done
for other searches in Koha. We could do something closer to the "Search the
Catalog" tab. Only one field, and a text saying "Enter search keywords:"
