Hi Elaine,
Thomas Berezansky tracked down the problem in IRC. The "Matches Exactly"
option is changing the search to:
^joy of cooking$
when it should be changing it to:
"^joy of cooking$"
The current behavior says the title should start with "joy", contain
"of", and end with "cooking." Most of the Joy of Cooking titles did not
end with cooking, so they weren't retrieved, but the vegetarian cooking
one does indeed end with cooking.
I would say that this indeed is a bug and is probably easy to fix.

We've noticed what appears to be incorrect returns in a matches

check if this is a bug or something else.
In the PINES database test server running 2.5.1, a title contains
search for joy of cooking retrieves 56 titles, 36 of which contain the
phrase "joy of cooking" in the 245 (main title) field. They include:
Joy of cooking
All new all purpose joy of cooking
Joy of cooking. |p All about party foods & drinks
Joy of cooking. |p All about pies & tarts
Joy of cooking. |p All about canning & preserving
The joy of cooking : |b a compilation of reliable recipes with a
casual culinary chat
The joy of cooking Christmas cookies
Stand facing the stove : the story of the women who gave America the
Joy of cooking
A matches exactly title search for joy of cooking only retrieves 17
titles. The search results showing just titles for illustration are:
1. Joy of cooking
2. Joy of cooking
3. Joy of cooking
4. Joy of cooking
5. Joy of cooking
6. Joy of cooking
7. Joy of cooking
8. Joy of cooking
9. Joy of cooking.
10. Joy of cooking
11. Joy of cooking
12. Joy of Cooking.
13. Joy of cooking
14. Joy of cooking
15. Joy of cooking.
16. Joy of cooking. |p All about vegetarian cooking
17. JOY OF COOKING.
As you can see, with the one exception, the search is only retrieving
one record where the title contains subfield p, however there are a
number of titles in the contains search with |a Joy of cooking. and a |p.
Also, with that one exception, no title containing the phrase "joy of
cooking" in either the 245 |a or |b along with other words or phrases
is retrieved.
We did reindex Joy of cooking. |p All about pies & tarts to see if
that was the issue, but it was not retrieved in a subsequent search.
To me, this is a bug, or at least not expected behavior. Before I
create a launchpad report, I wanted to check to see if I was missing
something or there was another, fixable, explanation we have not
considered.
