Food lists - I'm confused

Hello myfitnesspal friends

I am confused by the way this web site works.

What is the difference between "Recent" "Frequent" and "My Foods"?

Also, the various items I enter seem to be in a random order, not by date, alphabetical or otherwise.

Why can't you search within your own food lists (because, see above question)?

Finding, entering, editing (correcting), food information is frustrating and time consuming (sitting on my a33 when I should be out running the 10km)

Am I missing something?

    Recent foods is just a reverse-chronological list of the foods you've logged, either for that specific meal or for all meals depending on how you have your list sorted. You can sort reverse-chronologically or alphabetically.

    Frequent foods are foods that you log often.

    "My Foods" are foods you've added to the database.

    You can search through those lists in the app, and I agree it would be great if you could do that on the desktop site as well.
