Why do you have two different search engines for the program? If I go to the "home page" in the program (clicking on the house button) I get a search box. I want to search for "Steak Tartar(e)" so I type in "Steak" and lots of steak recipes show up. then I continue with "Tartar" (without the "e") and absolutely nothing shows up. If this is supposed to be an intuitive search then why doesn't it find any recipes with just "Steak tartar" typed in? If I add the "e" then the recipes show up.

Now, if I go to the toolbar and select "Find" and type in "Steak tartar", immediately I get all the recipes without typing the "e". It's really frustrating! Please make both searches work the same.

This was a deliberate design decision arising from a query performance constraint.  The reason is because one executes a very quick "Search as you Type" quicksearch on the title itself, and the other is a more complete search. 

For performance reasons, since a query is executed on every single keystroke in the QuickSearch (on the BigOven for WIndows home page), it needs to take a couple indexing shortcuts in the database.  It's meant to be a very quick "most popular" search.  It would simply take too long to execute such a search on every keystroke.  For the most complete search, use the "Find" button in the toolbar.
