    We'll look into the behavior of 1.4.0 on this, but in any event,
    I believe you can achieve the desired result just by putting the
    classifications all in one form field, with any multi-word entries
    surrounded by quotes if you need an exact match.  For example:

        "educational technology" multimedia physics

    This should return results that have all of the above terms
    (treating "educational technology" as one term) in the specified
    metadata field.
