..holey moley, I just found something that works! I bookmarked a super weird search engine someone linked here a while back, and it actually returned useful search results immediately: https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=pancake+recipe&profile=yolo&js=default https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=pancake+recipe&pro...
that led straight to: http://online-cookbook.com/goto/cook/rpage/000DDF http://online-cookbook.com/goto/cook/rpage/000DDF , which is possibly the best recipe site I've ever seen in my life. It's just an ingredient list and a paragraph of text below it!

- marginalia_nu 5y agoWe shouldn't be too hard on these new search engines. My search engine spent a fairly long time returning comically irrelevant search results. Building a search engine is easy enough. Getting it to return good results is the 10% of the work that takes 90% of the time.
- vt240 5y agoWow, https://search.marginalia.nu https://search.marginalia.nu is really cool. I just wasted a whole hour looking at sites it was suggesting with the random feature. Haha.
