Ask HN: What do you think of my Recipe Search Engine?

I searched by "ingredients" and got a selection of recipes, but when I used the exact same search term on "keyword" search, I got nada.<p>I understand the difference, but you know the gold standard. I suggest to "emulate" Google: one search box only please.<p>As a cook myself, I like the idea, but honestly, I don't see how the pay model will be popular. I can do exactly the same thing in Google if I enter the exact search term as for your web site, and then add the word "recipe" to the search term. And other recipe sites will do as well. So I am not sure how you can get away from ad-supported revenue model. Good luck nonetheless.<p>BTW, I agree about the logo comment. Maybe you can try to change the web site name or create a cute story about why use the "puppy".

Less words, more pastel colors. And your logo doesn't quite invigorate my appetite.

I don't get it. Why would anyone register for a topic-specific search site?<p>What features are there aside from searching?

don't require comma separation use spaces like google and assume (or tell) people to quote multi-word ingredients (like "ice cream").
