Instead of Title Search there should be a search capability for the contributors.comment field (so, for example, one could get a list of individuals who were clerics, or journalists, or had another specific term associated with them.

Maybe we should call this "description" instead of comments? Thoughts?

"notes"?

The contributor database Gary uses has an unlimited-length memo field which is used for information like 'books they have written', alternative titles like 'clergy', 'attorney', etc, which does not lend itself to particular fields. Full-text search on this is valuable, but what do we call it?
