What I Ate - Search Tool
Posted 11 February, 2010 at 1:04pm by Michael Chu(Filed under: Food, What I Ate)
I've found that the search on this blog works fairly well, but when I'm looking for a particular restaurant or dish that I ate (to remind myself of a previous experience or see what it looked like), the search doesn't work too well. Searching for a restaurant name often pulls up other blog entries where I may have mentioned or compared against that restaurant, making it more difficult to find what I'm looking for.
So, I wrote a tool to help - it's a search tool that was specifically designed to dig through What I Ate and provide links to to the meal as well as photos of each dish. Just go to the What I Ate Search type in the restaurant name or name of the dish and click on "Search". If there are ten or fewer results, all the photos will be pulled up automatically (otherwise, just click on the "Show Photos" link).
The tool is both useful when I'm about to order at a restaurant AND has a weird curiosity factor especially when you type in such things as "steak" or "pizza" or "sausage".
Here are some examples:
What I Ate - Restaurant: Manresa
What I Ate - Dish: Dumplings
What I Ate - Dish: Ramen
