Finding past questions and answers

Asked on 13 Dec 2020 by vivsim

Hi Lindsey,
I have asked you several questions, and have been pleased to receive great help from you. Thank you very much.
I am wondering if there is a way to search for questions/answers on Ask Lindsey. It would be very helpful if I could, for instance, find all questions relating to Preserved Ginger Cake, or fondant icing sugar, or scaling cakes, etc.
I see that I can scroll through questions asked but, as there are hundreds of them, it isn't practical.
If there isn't a search facility, is it likely that one might be introduced at some time?

Hello,

Using one of your questions as an example…

If you type ‘preserved ginger’ in the search box then press search all the relates recipes will appear on the screen.

Then if you click the ‘content’ button on the right-hand side of the page you will get a list of items relating to preserved ginger, where it was used in the title. It may not bring up everything but if you’ve asked a question about preserved ginger its highly likely that I will use the words in the title.

Kind regards

Lindsey

That is great, Lindsey. I just tried the search and it's going to be a really good help to me.
Merry Christmas!
