Inconsistent search results in library

As can be seen from the attached screenshots, search results in the library are quite inconsistent when searching for books by EM Bounds.  It probably isn’t helped by the inconsistent metadata too.

    Without using any qualifiers, the search terms are applied to all of the metadata associated with the books which is why some of them are matching.

    I recommend using the string author:bounds

    Thanks Graham, I understand that.  However the results seems wrong, if you compare the search in screenshots 1 and 3, E.M. occurs in all 4 of the EM Bounds books but only the third search produces it, whereas I think the first should also produce all four books.  If you run the same search on the desktop version, all four books appear when searching for bounds E.M.:
