I'm sorry s-w-f. I didn't see this:
If I replace that with just, "pulled pork, brown rice" and press enter, .83 seconds later Google, which is my default search engine, shows me about 1,150,000 pages that all contain both 2-word phrases.
If I type, "recipe: pulled pork, brown rice, -eggs" .90 seconds later it returns about 1,450,000 recipes that have both of my "leftovers" and none of those recipes call for eggs.
If my default search engine is set to Bing it works almost exactly the same except to exclude eggs from the search I have to type "not eggs" instead of "-eggs"
You can get a lot more information by typing in, "How to do advanced searches in Google", or "How to do advanced searches in Bing"
Haven't checked, but strongly suspect, that would work with every possible default search engine.
By the way, you don't put in quantities for a search. When I wrote, "Leftover 1, Leftover 2" I was using placeholders for whatever the leftovers actually were.
But if you're not using a PC or a Mac, you're on your own because I'm too old and too dumb to figure out hand held devices.
On Windows PCs there is a place on the screen called a Browser Address Bar. Right now, on my screen, it says, "http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=1525190"That's interesting - I can't find that functionality on Google - could you share the link please?
