[Wactclc-primo] primo/cataloging oddity

[Herman, Amy]

So this may be more of a cataloging question but we came across it in Primo...

When we do a Primo search for [cryptozoology] and limit to "Available in the library" we get 7 book results.  Results #5, 6, & 7 all have that search term in a notes field in the MARC record and are books we'd expect to see.  However results #1-4 have nothing to do with the topic (see screenshot below) and all sound somewhat violent. The search term is nowhere in the MARC records of these results.  Any ideas why Primo thinks these four results are the most relevant? Does it have some sort of internal invisible thesaurus?
