This is really cool! Bookmarked!

One piece of feedback: It seems to somewhat liberally fuzz the term, doesn't tell me about it and not toggle it in the UI. I searched for "Natto" and got some great results at the top (Spicy Kimchi Natto!). However, a few results down the recipes start including "Nattu" which seems to be a Indian chicken dish and then quickly have nothing to do with the term at all and give me stuff like Tafelspitz.

Yeah, that's the typo detection in search. The key thing is that "Natto" is prioritized, so that part is working correctly!

Tweaking search can be a whole full time thing. I'll write it down and maybe look into if I can tweak the search so if there are exact matches to not show alternatives.
