Google has been working on the technology for several months. To use the recipe view do a regular search for a dish (try lasagna or whatever), and in a column on the left side of your screen, right under the shopping view, will appear recipes, says Goel. Click on it to use the feature.
The new feature will enable Google users to search for all recipes that have appeared on the Internet.
A product manager for the search engine, says that on average Google gets 10 million searches a day for recipes.
Although it’s only 1 percent of Google’s overall searches, the numbers were large enough to entice Goel and his crew to add a recipe view feature. Although users have always been able to find recipes using Google, under the new system they can narrow down their searches.
People can now search recipes based on everything from calorie count and ingredients to cook time and what publication the recipe came from. They can even plug in a search for a special occasion — say Cinco de Mayo — and come up with recipes for that holiday.
