This limitation meant that I would have to export several different fields and subfields from my existing MARC records into different fields and subfields (some merges required) in the MARC records that KOHA would read/display--quite complicated for me.

Actually, Koha does allow you to specify 'see also' fields for searching,
allowing you to search across as many related fields as you want.

This would hopefully reduce or eliminate the need for complex intermediate steps when preparing marc records for import into KOHA.

Koha 3.0 will preserve the 'see also' functionality and will also add
relevance ranking and support for a better query language (CQL) for 
advanced searches.

Have you added at least one stopword?
