If I want to do a search for apple chutney, how do I go about it? Yes, I'm being thick but I get up all threads that mention either word.

Type in Apple chutney Click the Search for all terms radio button. ETA: Except it's not working.

As I understand it the search facility was sacrificed to enable faster posting . I might have got that wrong, but search doesn't really work on my set up any more.

Excellent, thank you. So do I use the recipe I've got which doesn't cook the onions or do I use Rosemary Judy's one?

Can we have the default option being search for all terms, not any? It seems more logical. As you were if it's just me (this wouldn't be unusual!)

A better search on DS would be Boolean : type in Apple AND chutney as I have written it
