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!) |

I've been meaning to mention it for years! Is it hard to do? |

A better search on DS would be Boolean :
type in
Apple AND chutney
