Recent Foods First in the Search Results + Meal Name Stamps or Time Stamps

Hey guys,
Suggestion #1 - Recent Foods in Search:
Currently when searching - while it does show recent logged foods in general - once I start typing something, it will only show foods from the database rather than showing “Recent” logged foods first (within what I have typed).
So if I type: “Schn” in the search bar - I expect it to first show me the tasty Schnitzel my wife made me yesterday, rather than showing me general database results.
Suggestion #2 - Time\Meal Stamps:
As of now, app will simply log whatever food I'm logging within the current time stamp (which I know, can be changed manually).
However, there are 2 better ways we can go about this:
Meal Stamps - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack.
Which will allow me to quickly add specific foods into each meal type.
Time Stamps (which I personally less prefer, but still better).
This would mean we’ll have time stamps, like 8:00, 9:00… etc.
To each of these times there will be a plus button which will allow me to add foods to that specific time in the timeline.
GENERAL NOTE:
If both suggestions will be implemented - do make them complimentary to one another,.
Meaning, if we have Meal Stamps - make the search then first show recently logged foods WITHIN that specific meal, rather than in general.
Would make things much easier.

Recent food prioritised in search

Recently logged food items need to be easier to find and re-log. Searching for “eggs” should prioritise your recently added brand / type and not a global search all over again. Current workaround is to add everything to favourite.

Similar to other logging apps. The ability when searching to shows recently consumed or often logged for when I have the right item found.

When I go to add a new food and hit search, I see the most recent foods. Are you expecting something different? I agree that it could be useful to have the option to set the results to be "most often used" versus "most recent".

Hi Randell, I do see the recent logs when not searching, but once I start searching for a food, the search results doesn't consider the recent logs while ideally I'd like to see what I entered previously shows on top of the search results.
For example, a few days ago I logged this Honey Waffle from Honey Stinger, and now I want to quickly log the same item, I can scroll to find the item in the recent logs but it's takes some time to find it; when I search for "Waffle" the previous item isn't in the search results either. My proposal is that when searching for "waffle" it'd be great to have a section named "previously entered items" that show matching partial search results if there's any.
Does that make sense? Please see the images attached below for visual explanation.
Image 1: when not searching, there's the item I wanted to log.
Image 2: when searching, there's no recent logged items in the search results.
Image 3: proposal, add a recent section in parallel with common and branded sections.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Ethan W, When you enter or log food via Nutrition "+" -> Search food, it should show your recent logs below. Is this not working for you? or if you are asking something different here, can you please clarify?

When searching for a food, it’d be great to have previously entered food show up in the first section for quick access. Currently I have to use “favorites” as a workaround but that’s not ideal. Thanks!
