Add ability to search titles?

I'm searching for a record of an ancestor from Ontario, but it keeps giving me records from the US, where she never lived (as far as I can tell). I tried omitting "United States" from the search results, but it didn't work, and when I looked through the discussions here for help I discovered that titles aren't taken into account for the Full Text Search. The only alternative I can think of is to individually omit all 50 states from the search, or at least any that pop up, and then carefully omit any results that make it through anyway.

Because of this, I'm hoping that the ability to take the titles into consideration can be added.
