What's happened to the Recipe Search? It doesn't work properly!

I have just been searching for a recipe I posted and it's taken far longer than it should have to find it. I tried browsing under Cakes and Desserts - no list, like there used to be.
I tried Finding a recipe - put in the key word Spelt, looking in Cakes and Desserts - no results.
Back to Browse - and it just gave me one bloody recipe for some banana bombe thing, no other recipes.

I finally traced it using teh Search facility with Spelt and All recipes - ta-dah! But what a bloody palaver!

Could you please mend it? And also, bring back the full list of recipes when Browsing? Otherwise there's really no point to the "browsing" bit.

What recipe?

Using Google: thumbwitch site:mumsnet.com/Recipes
came up with Banana Oat Cookies Low Sugar. Is that the one? Doesn't use Spelt.

Perhaps you meant Moist spelt chocolate cake which I found using Google: spelt site:mumsnet.com/Recipes

Now can I find that using the Mumsnet Recipe Search...

Yes typed in the word spelt (no capital S) and it produced two results. Does the same with a capital S. That was using ALL Recipes search.

Does not find it if searching Cake category. So I would guess it's a category search issue.
Though may be more of a category not assigned issue, as when you try to Browse the Cake category, there is only one thing listed!

yes, I think you are probably right nannynick - I only found one item under Cakes and Desserts too - used not to be like that though!

It has either changed or is broken cos I couldn't search for Marslady's lemon drizzle cake recipe yesterday

P.s. Where is Marslady these days?

Hi, yes the category search on recipes isn't working right. I broke it Blush. I was hoping to get if going today but I've ended up having to do family stuff and couldn't. It'll be Tuesday now, sorry.

Whaddya do Tech, drop it on the floor or something? Wink

Ok, I guess Tuesday will do... Grin

Hi, just to confirm this should all be OK now. Let us know if not. Thanks.
