Search
You can search for recipes from the search text box below the add recipes button of the recipes view page. Type your keywords delimited by either a space, comma or both. Then press the enter key to fire the search.
Basic Search
The basic search is one where the user types something in the search box without using any of the advanced search concepts.
The default search mode is Full search. In other words, your query will search the following fields of all recipes belonging to you:
- Title
- Description
- Category
- Ingredients
- Instructions
- Keywords
- Source
- Tools
The results will be ranked based on their relevance to the search terms.
Advanced Search
The advanced search feature lets you tailor the search query to specific requirements. It is similar to using advanced
search features in google. For example, searching for magnetic declination site:.edu in Google will yield results
containing the terms magnetic declination for websites of the .edu top-level domain.
The following table provide examples of how to perform various searches. You may combine any of the searches in any order.
