  Ah, thinking about it that way the usage makes much more sense to me.

  I've merged it now, with two small changes[1].  The first is that
keywords, authors and titles from option strings are escaped.  And the
second is your 1984 test case's result, because I like the idea of
having results that don't appear in the search term.  This way a page
displaying "invalid search string `1984'" won't be considered a pass.
