This chapter describes ways you can find recipes and notes

There are a variety of ways to find things in MacGourmet. You can quickly filter
on certain fields, or all fields in your recipe box using the Search Field. You can
search for recipes, wine, beer, cheese and cooking notes using the basic search
functionality. You can create Smart Lists that search for items based on criteria
you specify: lists that keep themselves updated as you add and delete items.
You can search for recipes based on ingredients you have and ingredients you
do not have. Finally, you can do "Suggest Recipe" searches that return random
selections from your recipe collection. This is great if you can't decide what to
make!

The Search Field

The ingredient search field is found on the toolbar of your recipe box and your
list views. It allows you to pick a field to search on and quickly filter the se-
lected list based on whatever you type into this field.
