Another Search Issue - Too few results   Go to last post Go to last unread

Perhaps related to the recent re-engineering of the search engine. Specifically when searching my bookshelf | recipes for 'hazlenut' I get 2 results. 'chocolate hazlenut' returns zero results. 'chocolate cake' returns 676 (probably correct). If I then filter on Ingredients | Baking Ingredients | Nuts | Hazlenuts, I then get 39 results (also probably correct). 12 of the 39 recipes have "hazlenut" in the title and were not seen by the unfiltered search at all. And all have 'hazlenut' listed as an ingredient, which were also missed. At least I'm relieved that it isn't my imagination.

The issue is your spelling of the ingredient - it is hazelnut not hazlenut. When you use the fliter it is a direct match to the ingredient in the database so the spelling doesn't matter whereas the word search has to be an exact match. In case anyone else makes this mistake I have added the mis-spelling as a vatiation in our database so a search by hazlenut will show everything with hazelnut.

Ah!
Looks like some recipes also misspell it too.  I searched Library recipes and found this,
https://www.eatyourbooks...ar-and-anise-tatin-poire

Explains also the two result in my own bookshelf:
https://www.eatyourbooks...aspberry-hazlenut-scones
https://www.eatyourbooks...heese-terrine-with-dried


Just confirmed that my two dead-tree versions spell it 'hazelnut'. So, a data entry error.


I've gotten so used to auto-correct and searches that are good at guessing what I meant, one gets lazy.


Thanks for figuring it out!

I've corrected all the other instances of mis-spelling of hazelnut on indexed recipes.
