Hi Jrw3212 - you search your own recipes on your Bookshelf by clicking the My Bookshelf tab at the top, then click Recipes in the drop-down menu. Now either use the green search bar which searches for the word in recipe title, ingredients, book title and author name. Or use the filters in the right column which give more precise results as they are a direct match to the word in the database. To learn more about search, please do use the Tutorials accessed from the green Need Help? button at bottom right (not available on phones). Or check out these Help pages.
