Does anyone have recommendations for browsing through all indexed online recipe?  I finally got around to browsing and adding online recipes to my bookshelf.   I'm not looking for a compartmentalized search with specific course, ingredient, etc.   At first I tried going page by page, but there's no "go to page" entry where you can enter a page number.  So if I stop at let's say page 56, when logging back on at a later date, I have to start back at page 1 and just click next, next, next until back at the that page (which may change depending on how many new recipes have been added).  This is not practical for general browsing of 13,000+ pages of recipes, so I was hoping someone may have a simple recommendation.

wkhull - you can easily go back to the page you left. After you move on from the first page you will see the page number in the URL. You just change the number in the URL to the page you want then click Enter and you go to that page of results. Though bear in mind we add lots of new Online Recipes every day so the page number you left off at will be a higher number when you go back to it but at least you will be in the right ballpark.


I would warn you that we have a limit of 30,000 individual online recipes on a Bookshelf. This is not online recipes in the 82 blogs, websites and newspaper columns we index (if you add the entire blog etc to your Bookshelf) but individual recipes as you are adding now. The reason for this is that your search is slowed down when you have a lot of individual recipes on your Bookshelf. But not just your search, the entire server is slower when a lot of individual recipes are being searched. We have new developers so we will be getting them to take a look at this issue.

I like to browse through all my books based on comments.

Maybe change the sort order first so new recipes are in the front or back. That way you know you won’t miss them.
