I searched for ginger and the few I clicked and checked had no ginger in the recipe or description. I tried messing with the advanced search as well but maybe I am doing something wrong there. I guess it's finding me dishes that go well with some dish I have with ginger?

Weird. I tried searching ginger and had no problem finding recipes that included it as an ingredient.

You should see ginger in the ingredients list. However, the recipe search is based on postgres full text search, so it's possible something is being missed. I need to update the recipe search for flavor pairings to ensure there is an exact match for the given ingredients.

And thanks for testing it out!

There seems to be a bug where I had to search twice to get relevant results.

For example I typed "pumpkin", hit enter, the url is updated to https://www.kulinarian.com/recipes/?search=pumpkin and the spinner shows. But then it loads what is probably generic results (dunkaroo dip, salmon burgers..) . Then I hit enter again, and finally get relevant results loading.

I'm assuming you're talking about the general recipe search bar in the top nav? If so, I can't replicate that issue. Which OS/browser versions are you using?
