I'd like to be able to enter search strings with Boolean operators, e.g. "wilkie collins" AND "armadale" - to retrieve only specific items of interest.

I can see the benefits of your approach, casting a wide net - but the items returned extend over several pages, and I'm unlikely to browse through them.
Having unrequested items presented gives this user the impression the search has been 'messy', and not under my control (just my opinion, other people may prefer that method).
