    Search for "not contains xxx"

    My son has a severe milk allergy.  I'd like to be able to search for recipes that DO NOT contain a certain ingredient.  So, I could say search for "chicken" and ignore those recipes that contain "milk" or "cream".  This would be a huge timesaver for me!

    The online search used to have an option for this.  It was great, but probably almost invisible and underused.  There are so many times this would be great to have

    Agree wholeheartedly.  As much as I like BigOven, the search feature is one of it's biggest downfalls.  Would love to be able to exclude words, or to search for two separate words (e.g., both Chicken AND Asparagus, not "Chicken and asparagus" as a phrase) in either titles or ingredients.  I've wasted way too much time slogging through hundreds of recipes, opening each one to see if it had what I wanted, when a better search would have found what I wanted in minutes, or seconds!

    Just an update -- this is now live.  Do a search on BigOven.com, and then click "[more options]" to further choose ingredients to include or exclude.  Thanks.  We're listening.
