Searching

[Mikekey]

Why are the categories so limited? I was searching for a specific cuisine and can only see a few regions listed.

I don't know the answer to this Mikekey so I have asked The other Mods and admin to answer you.

Hi Mike,
Happy to hear from you.
I have the same frustration. We've been putting a fair bit of work into figuring out the categories and have a lot more to go. The menu is one part of it (which needs more figuring out.) Search is another part, which does work for finding categories. It uses autocomplete, so that means the search term needs to match exactly. For ex. you can search for 'Irish' and the first result that shows up, (without a recipe icon) is the Irish category, which will take you here, https://www.recipezazz.com/recipes/cate ... sine/irish

I agree, it needs to be easier and more useful, but I hope that helps in the meantime.

Thanks

Try using Google advanced search until the issue is resolved. It will pick up words anywhere on the page so if a category is mentioned in the description or in a review, it will still get a hit.
https://www.google.ca/advanced_search

Take for example, this recipe:
https://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/beerl ... fish-10169
I can cut and scrape "Many of our UK friends love this" in the description, paste it into advanced search, and see how precise the returns are:
https://www.google.ca/search?as_q=&as_e ... cBIECAQwAQ

The weird photo hits in that, such as pie, probably had the pie photo appear somewhere on either the recipe page or the roundup when Google crawled it.

So try dropping the category you want into the search and see if it gets any hits at all. You might get lucky.
