Nutrition Search not sorting results properly
under review
Justin Rector
If you search multiple words, there seems to be something off with the sorting that should rank results with multiple matches higher than those with single matches. This tends to cause the most issues with branded foods, as when you search the brand everything from that brand matches, but then the additional words dont help very much with filtering further. I'd likely suggest making this a hard filter where every word I search must be included to return a result, but better sorting would also work.
Examples:
Search "Chic-fil-a Fries"
Fries dont show up at all in the first 5 results and you have to page down
Same result with "Chic-fil-a spicy sandwich"
Search "Jimmy John's Turkey"
Doesn't return a turkey sandwich at all, instead return a bunch of other Jimmy John's items
Also some punctuation issues:
Search "Arbys roast beef"
This returns almost nothing for Arbys, but it's common for a lot of restaurants to have punctuation and sometimes it's hard to know the perfect punctuation for them. "Arby's roast beef" returns the correct results
And issues with restaurants with common words in their name:
Searching anything "Chipotle" related is bad, because a ton of foods mention Chipotle and get pushed to the top of the rankings. With Chipotle Chicken Bowl the first result actually from Chipotle is 20 results down. I know this is tricky to fix without a separate brand search though.

A filter to search for brands would really help to narrow down the search results. The last few days trying to find recipes from hello fresh have been very difficult using the current search tool. Typing katsu curry hello fresh doesn’t seem to actually prioritise recipes from brand at all and instead puts hello fresh recipes right down the list

Merged in a post:
To be able to search food by supermarket or brand

By doing this it will allow to filter out so many other choices which just isn’t needed. Example if my food is from Sainsburys then it would only show food from them. Or if I search by brand then only the brand products will show

Hi Kieron, Thanks for the suggestion! We are currently working on improving the search food feature on our Bevel Nutrition, let me merge this to an existing ticket for you.
