Searching Food Items
You can search the food database from the Food Browser’s Search button .
In the Search window (see Figure 14), enter a word (or part of a word) and tap Search to
show the matching food items from the food database and from your own food. Tap on
one to select it.
Figure 14:The Search Food window allows you
to search the food database for a specific keyword.
Searching by one word can return too many. To perform a more effective search, enter
several words, and only items containing all words will be shown. What’s more, prefix a
word with an hyphen (–) to exclude food items that contain that word. In Figure 14, the
figure on the right shows the entries returned when searching for both milk and 1%, but
not cheese (reducing the number of entries).

words, and use the
minus sign (-) to
exclude keywords
from the search.
