Change links.title and summaries.credits free-text clauses from match to match_phrase.

These fields previously used match, which defaults to OR operator. For long search text such as:
imos - satellite remote sensing - sst - l3s - multi sensor - 1 month - night time - australia

a record could score if links.title or summaries.credits contained any individual term. This produced many irrelevant results, including more than 5000 matches in the example above.

With match_phrase, these fields now only contribute when the terms appear as the same phrase, in order. This makes long-title searches more precise while leaving the other search fields unchanged.
