I like this development by BibLibre very much. We have a variety of
patrons. Some are very serious researchers who know exactly what they
want and don't appreciate the vagueness of the fuzzy-type searches. On
the other hand, we have some people who are new to researching, aren't
quite sure what they want, and they do want (or think they want)
*everything* we have on "civil rights" or "Vicksburg" even if such a
search gives a mind-numbing number of results. I think the "drill down"
filters would be very helpful.

When doing an initial search, I'd recommend we stay with the current
set up (more results is better, as they can be narrowed with the
filters), but if you're clicking the subject tracing on a specific
record (or on one of the filters), yes, I think it should be forced to
completeness. You want precisely _that thing_. You're seeking,
rather than searching.
We could also apply this to names and series entries in a similar fashion.
We have made a development for Nimes public library that is related to
this too.
You can see the result here :

click on an author or a subject. A popup is spawn, letting the user
specify better how he want to jump.
