Excellent stuff and a nice break from the "rewrite it all in in my tasty-flavour-lang" approaches to doing this that crop up often on HN (not that those aren't impressive on a technical level!). This ties in nicely with the recent discussions here over the need for more specialised search engines.

Are you able to give any insight into how this works behind the scenes, is it all manually input?

Bookmarked for future use.

I'm currently crawling the sources which publish schema.org definitions of their recipes, or the actual html itself. Basically doing whatever google does to create their recipe cards.

Everything gets thrown into a Postgres database with a vanilla FTS implementation.
