What if I want a rice-based ready meal, but don't know exactly what kind of meal yet (I'll know when I see it), so I'd like to search rice and see what's on offer? Oh! Chicken and rice soup, I could go for that. Cart.

Just experienced the exact same thing! Performed the miracle on the phones of several family members. I used the sharp end of a push-pin to lift it out, and was in awe of how much material had been compacted in there. Now my phone has that
