Fretting over the idea of what to prepare for dinner when your friends will be over at your place this weekend? Why worry? There are so many recipe search engines available online today that you can conveniently take help from them and win accolades from your friends too. However, before you jump with joy and completely rely on the search engines to decide the menu for you, just wait and evaluate. Are the search engines giving you the right results according to the preference/ combination you have punched? Can you be sure of the recipes that feature in the top three positions on the search engines to be actually of that caliber (good enough to be at the top position)?
Few days back Google introduced its new tool, Foodily. This tool enables the integration of results with Facebook so that you can know about the recipes your friends like. Then there is another recipe search engine, Cookzillas which allows you to enter the recipe name and then it displays all the ingredients used in that particular recipe and if you want to exclude any ingredient then enter your recipe in the search box along with a hyphen highlighting the name of that ingredient which you don’t want to use in that recipe.
These search engines rank the recipes according to the number of times they have been clicked by other users and linked to from other sites. But as far as newer models are concerned, they rank these recipes according to their quality i.e. the number of reviews, links, photographs of each recipe and popularity too.
Search engine like Delish.com provides you recipes for different items like cookies, chicken, desserts, appetizers, low calorie food etc. In addition, it even provides you a grilling guide, essential wine guide and best recipe cooking tips too. You can even refine your recipe search by entering the ingredient only and get various results.
Therefore, we can conclude by saying that it entirely depends upon you how you search and what you search on the search engine that can actually guarantee the results. So, be smart and choose that search engine which is actually meeting your criteria.
