[Koha] Different search results depending on how we limit the item type

[Coehoorn, Joel]

Thanks for this! I'll definitely use this option if I can't find a more
complete fix.

However, I feel like this would be putting a veneer over bad data. I'd
really love advice helping me identify what we're doing wrong in our data
entry process to keep these indexes from matching naturally.
