Searching Food Items
You can search the food database by entering a word (or part of a word, or multiple
words) in the search bar and choosing the Search button . This shows the Search
window (see Figure 16) with the matching food items from the food database and from
your own food. Select an entry and choose Select to return to the Food Browser.
Figure 16: The Search Food window allows you to search the food database for a specific keyword.
Searching by one word can return too many items (hundreds in the previous example) To
perform a more effective search, enter several words, and only items containing all words
will be shown. You can also prefix a word with an hyphen (–) to exclude food items that
contain that word. In Figure 17, the search returned entries that contains both milk and
lowfat, but not cheese (bringing the number of entries down to a more manageable eight).
Figure 17:An enhanced search returns fewer and more accurate results.
