I think this is the best way to do it:

Type in the search box: tomatoes, tart 

Then apply the Ingredient filter for tomatoes (vegetables --> salad --> tomatoes),

Apply the Recipe type filter for Pies, tarts, & pastries (Baking --> Pies, tarts, & pastries), and

Apply the Course filter to exclude Desserts (Course --> Desserts; then click on the green + to turn it to a red -)

This should be the best way to do it:

1. Type hummus into the search box

2. Apply the Recipe Type filter for Dips, spreads & salsas (Recipe Types --> dish types --> Dips, spreads & salsas)

3. Then exclude recipes that have a dip/puree/salsa as an ingredient to eliminate recipes with hummus as an ingredient (Ingredient --> pantry ingredients --> puree/dips/salsas --> click the green + to turn it to a red -)

Doing the search this way, the only recipes you might miss are any "from scratch" hummus recipes that include a puree other than hummus such as canned pumpkin; however, upon closer inspection there were only 3 such recipes in the entire library that were excluded: this, this, and this. Doing it this way tightens up your search considerably, while only missing those three recipes.

Hope this answers your question!

From what you said, I assumed you were specifically searching for "tarts," but removing tart from the search box was exactly the right thing to do -- glad it worked!

The seach box is a word search, so it will retrieve any recipe that includes the words you type in the search box -- they could be in the title, ingredients, or categories. However, it does prioritize recipes with those words in the title, assuming they are more of a "main" ingredient and they show up first in the search results. 

There isn't a category for cold soups, so that one is a bit more difficult. I would filter by the Recipe Type "Soups" then do 3 different searches to see what's on my shelf, first one for "cold," then one for "chilled," and then one for "Gazpacho." It's not perfect and something like "soup for a cold night" will still come up, but hopefully there are not too many like that, and you should be able to browse through what you have.

Also, any errors you see can always be reported to the EYB team by clicking "Report an Error" on the bottom right hand corner of your screen. 

Hope this helps!
