SUBJECT and KEYWORD searches are not the same. The catalog uses controlled vocabularies for subjects. Keywords are natural language.
A CONTROLLED VOCABULARY like Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) helps ensure the same topics are described using a formalized terminology. The terms are based on broad and narrow topics. Other controlled vocabularies include: Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).
Controlled Vocabulary refers to an established list, organized arrangement, or database of preferred terms and phrases (usually subject or genre/form terms) in which all terms and phrases representing a concept are brought together. A controlled vocabulary is usually listed alphabetically in a subject headings list or thesaurus of indexing terms. Controlled vocabularies provide a way to organize knowledge for subsequent retrieval. https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2020/04/using-controlled-vocabulary-is-same-as.html
