How to Search
About keyword searches
A more refined search can be conducted by adding keywords on the “Search Results” page and by using “Selection” to choose different criteria.
Since entered “Keywords” are used to search all recipes containing these search terms, sometimes recipes differing from your selected conditions are shown.
For example, if you enter the keyword “egg”, search results for recipes containing the word “egg”, including “eggplant” will also be shown. This is because the “egg” portion of the word “eggplant” also becomes a target of the search.
