I'd really like to have a search function for my recipe box

I have 30 PAGES of recipes which I've input over the years. It takes a huge amount of time to scroll through them all to find one I need to log for the day. Sometimes, I just give up and input it again because that is faster. Isn't there some way to implement a search function to streamline that part of your service?

    Meanwhile, I would suggest using the app, you can sort and search recipes there. (you can sort on the website too, but only by name)

    Because of this, I use both the app and desktop. I vastly prefer desktop, but do like the ability to search my recipes on the app.

    HOWEVER, it doesn't always work. I verified this with a recipe from 2017 last night. I was not able to find it from search in the app, but it was in page 25 or so in the list on desktop. Perhaps recipes that old are not indexed for some reason? >.<

    ps: OF COURSE there is a way to implement a search on desktop. We've been asking for this for years. And been ignored for years. >.<

    why has this not been added since it has been requested for many years. And, the comment regarding the app search function for my recipes is quite true - it's not foolproof by any means and is quite inaccurate in my estimation.
