Search ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Search The Search function provides the ability to find recipes that meet search parameters you entered in on or more of the entry fields, Title, Group, and ingredients. Group List Help When making entries into the Group Search entry field, if you press the right mouse while the mouse cursor is in the entry field, a listbox will open containing the predefined Groups. Select one or more groups, then press enter (or double click with the left mouse) or press one of the logic selector button located below the list box. If do not use the logic buttons the groups will be transfered the group search entry field with a space serperating them. If you press one of the logic buttons at the bottom, the logic operator character selected will be inserted before each group added to the entry field. To close the list without adding transfering any group to the entry field, double click on the system menu button in the upper left corner of the list window. SEARCH PARAMETERS FORMAT ΓûáAll searches are not case sensitive. ΓûáIf a full word search is desired enclose the word(s) with leading and trailing spaces in quotes. A title search for the word ham, will find the following recipes: "Baked Ham Southern Style", "Hamburgers" While a search for " Ham " would only find, "Baked Ham Southern Style" and not titles that contain "Hamburgers" since the search was for Ham with a leading and trailing space. ΓûáMultiple words that are not separated by search operators will be taken as a phrase. The search parameter can contain logical operator to perform advanced search function. Operator Description & performs AND function. | performs OR function. ^ performs a exclusive OR function. \ performs NOT function () Use to modify the left to right ordering of operations. Examples (using title or ingredient search parameter as examples) blue & cheese This would a find recipes title such as "Blueberry Cheesecake" because both "blue" AND "cheese" in the title. Blue | cream This would find the titles such as "Blueberry Cheesecake ", "Strawberry Ice Cream" because they contain "blue" OR "cream" somewhere in the title. coffee ^ cake This would find any recipe with either coffee or cake in in the title, but would reject recipes that had both coffee and cake in the title. Example: Rum Cake would be found, but Coffee cake would not be found. \onion & garlic This would find recipes that did NOT contain "onion", but did contain garlic. For a recipe to meet the search criteria all the parameter that are specified in the three search fields must be meet. If the field is blank, it is ignored. After you enter all the search parameter that you wish to use, press the Search button to start the search. The button color will change to Yellow and the text will change to "Stop". The database will be search first using the title parameter, if specified. As each recipe that match the search parameter is found it will be entered into the listbox, in sorted ordered and the count of found recipes will be display in the lower left status box. At anytime you can cancel the search by pressing the yellow stop button. When the title search is completed, the group search will start. If a title search was specified, the group search will use the titles found by the title search for its search. In this case if the found title does not match the group search parameter it will be removed from the listbox and the found count will be reduced by 1. If no title search was specified, the group search will search all the recipes in the database for matches and add them to the listbox and found count. After the group search is completed, the ingredient search will be performed in the same manner as the other searches. The search can be cancelled at any time by pressing the "Stop" button. Any recipes found will remain in the list box. Warning: Due to a the current OS/2 limitation to the amount of text that a listbox can contain, a search may find more recipes that can be contained in the list box. In this case a warning message will be displayed and the search will stop. Upon completion of all the search, the Stop button will return to it's default color and the text will go back to "Search". The recipes found now can be selected for further operations. ALL TITLES If the All title checkbox is checked, all the titles found in the recipe file will be placed in the list box. Any entries in the search entry fields will be ignored. For a large database this may exceed the listbox limitation mentioned above. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6. User Defined Unit of Measure ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ User Define Unit of Measure You can redefine the unit of measure (UOM) that will be used when displaying or printing recipes. The UOM that is stored in the recipe files are the standard KA/2 UOM. The standard UOM's will also be used when recipes are exported. This is done to maintain exchangeablity of recipes since the user that's import a recipes does not need to be concern with the exporter's user defined table. For example a user in Germany can export a recipe from his KA/2 that is using UOM that are converted to German and a KA/2 user in Sweden can import the recipe and have the UOM display and print in Swedish, if he has set up the user defined UOM for Swedish UOM's. How to setup User defined table When the Measure is selected in the option notebook, the User Define UOM page will open with the first KA/2 Standard UOM display after the word "For 1. The user enters as the first entry in the entry field the 1-3 character abbreviation that will be used in place of the standard KA/2 UOM. 2. Place a comma after this entry. 3. Next enter the long name of this UOM ending it with a comma if more entries are to follow for this UOM. 4. Next enter any other forms of this UOM that you want KA/2 to recognize. Remember to separate each entry with a comma. 5. Press the Next button to define the next UOM. KA/2 will use the first entry in the user define UOM table as the entry in the UOM for recipes that are displayed or printed. If KA/2 encounters one of the other form of the UOM that you defined it will convert it to the first entry. The standard KA/2 UOM will be used for all recipes that are imported or exported. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7. Yield Measurments ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Yield Unit of Measure The predefined unit of measure for yields are set in the Options, Yield. There is no limit to what unit of measure you use in a recipe. The number of predefined units is limited to 20, and are used when editing or creating recipes as a short cut. You can use one of the predefined yield measurement or enter some other measurement while editing recipes. If you enter new yield measure it will not be entered into the predefined list of yield measurements.

XXXX will be the name of the recipe manager that created the recipe that's being imported. As part of the text line a marker (~~) is placed at the beginning of the text. If this marker is found in the Source/Author line of the imported recipe, no text will be added. Add text If this is checked, the standard or custom text will be added only if the Source/Author line in the recipe is blank. Append text If this is checked, the standard or custom text will be appended to the existing text in the Source/Author line.
