Hmmm, title and author together should work. Thats a bug if they dont.
Keyword works by itself ... but the others title, author, class, publication
date etc can all be combined.

Eg
https://www.unido.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl

Try a search on author callon and title laws.
You can throw in language = english and class = monograph too.

This is how it should work, if its not, please bug it and ill go find out
why and fix it.

Yep subject is more of a browse option .. keyword searches in subject though.
