Note: due to the fluid nature of the catalog, in many cases we can't come up with the exact results we expect. Instead, these results spell out catkeys which we expect to be returned in the search results. If they should be among top results, that's specified. Most will happen to be among top results, but their ranking might look different in 5 years of collecting/weeding. These may need to be periodically audited.
