Discovery & Smart Feed

Discovery features help visitors find relevant recipes beyond standard archive filtering.

Smart search modes

Smart search modes control how aggressively MisePress interprets a query.

Common modes:

• Standard: simple search behaviour.
• Relevance: stronger matching and scoring.
• Balanced: relevance plus quality signals.
• Popularity: boosts recipes with stronger engagement.
• Personalised: can boost user context where available.

Ranking signals

Depending on settings and available data, smart ranking can use:

• Exact title match.
• Fuzzy title match.
• Ingredient match.
• Cuisine/course/diet match.
• Excerpt/content match.
• Average rating.
• Review count.
• View/popularity score.
• Featured recipe flag.
• Freshness.
• Saved/favourite context.
• Shopping-list context.

Typo tolerance

Typo tolerance helps queries like misspelled recipe names, ingredient names or partial words still return useful recipes. It works best after the search/discovery index is rebuilt.

Ingredient synonyms

Ingredient synonym matching allows related ingredient names to point toward the same recipe results where supported, such as tomato/tomatoes or aubergine/eggplant.

Smart collections

Use smart collections to place curated discovery sections around the site.

Trending recipes use recent activity and quality signals where available.
