When I put in 'beans' as an ingredient, the drop down box only went to beans-G, no pinto, no limas and no way (I can find) to move further in the alphabet. I guess I could put in beans - P, but would rather see the whole list.

Another problem - at home I used Windows Mail, not Outlook, but when I tried to request a book to be indexed it automatically opens an Outlook template, which I can't use. I couldn't copy and paste the request either. I ended up sending a couple of requests from work, but would rather be able to do it from home.

Love the site and after 22 days of the trial I signed up for a lifetime membership. No more coming home and fruitlessly trying to find a recipe to match my ingredients. Keep up the good work, and keep adding more cookbooks!

Eat Your Books is a beta site, in development, and we will be making lots of changes over the next few months.  One of the first ones is to change the emails to EYB so it is a form, rather than launching an email client (which not everyone has).  If you are sending RIs (Request to Index) to EYB, don't worry about sending an email as just clicking on the RI icon sends us through your request.

Another change will be that you can see more results on the drop down list when you type in the search boxes.  But sometimes there are just so many different varieties of an ingredient e.g. beans have more than 100 varieties, pasta has 130 varieties, that you would would want to refine your name by typing pasta - tag or beans - pin.  Don't forget the ingredient type search will cover all varieties of an ingredient e.g. beans, pulses and legumes - all or pasta & noodles - all.

Thanks for your support and good wishes!
