Hopefully the screenshot will make my question clear. From what I can tell by looking at the documentation for the solve() function, this application of solve is Supposed to give a parametrization for All solutions to x*y=1, but I only get one.
There are no additional assumptions on my variables x,y. Code in the screenshot was immediately preceded by clearing all variables.

Your mistake is that you applied == instead of =. Do this one:
solution = solve('x*y=1','x','y');

The problem is that you're asking for a solution for both variables. Instead, solve for one at a time:
solve(x*y==1,x)
ans =
1/y

That's what it's doing: 1/y is the solution for all x given all y.
If you want to substitute in new values, use subs to do this.
subs(expr,old,new)
