How Does It Work? Five Mushrooms Recipe & Food Searches work the same way as search engines like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft Live, and Ask. Our spider uses selective crawling and filtering to provide only recipe search results. Type keywords, ingredients, flavors or products into the search bar for a list of relevant recipes.

Examples:  Here are some examples of how the recipe search can be used with hyperlinks to the search results.

Recipes by name usually need quotes: 
"Chicken Cordon Bleu" 
"Beef Wellington" 
"Eggs Benedict"

It is possible to search for recipes by ingredient. For example, carrot celery onion lamb, however you can also try combinations of spices such as cinnamon allspice cardamom clove, or flavors, reigeons and ingredients, like "spicy beef" and "asian chicken" or "classic french".

Sometimes it is helpful to exclude something, for example soup -fruit produces a list of recipes for soup without fruit.

It is possible to search within a single site, for example site:allrecipes.com cake searches for cake recipes on allrecipes.com only.

All Food Search: Five Mushrooms provides an all food search index to compliment the recipe index. It can be useful to source equipment and ingredients, find restaurants, and generally search across a broader category than just recipes.

Things to Keep in Mind:
Results only include pages that contain all of the query words.

Use quotes around words that must occur adjacently, as a phrase, e.g., "cream cheese".

Punctuation between words is treated like spaces. Searching for http://wiki.fivemushrooms.com/ is the same as searching for "http wiki fivemushrooms com".

Searches are not case-sensitive, so searching for MeNuS is the same as searching for mEnUs.

That's it!
