Gordana, A nontechnical explanation -- pretty much every field, even the 050. Which can mean some odd results since the search can return titles where the term retrieved is across two subfields -- the end of one and the beginning of another (rare, but it does happen, unfortunately I don't remember an example). A recent keyword search I did in the PINES catalog to find "hitory" returned records with the Japanese name "Hitori".
It can take a little digging to find out why a record was returned since the keyword search brings up things like "hitori" for "hitory" (matches exactly sometimes helps). Elaine J.
