Keyword Search looks for the "term" (one word or number works best) you type throughout the whole record. It is less accurate than the advanced search but it does let you search for age, religion, mother's maiden name, etc. if transcribed.

Note: Mother's maiden name is "Colbert" (not Colbret); see 1910 marriage, Book 1821, p. 78, no. 551 and also https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/191445486/laura_jean-richards
