Google's Recipe Search: Wow!

     Have you done a search on Google for a recipe lately?  Having been a longtime user of www.Dogpile.com (a metasearch site), I'm pretty new to using Google for regular searching, so maybe I missed it before, but when I  did a search today for a strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe, I actually looked at the information on the left-hand side and was surprised to see how detailed it was!

     Check out the screen shot below.  See how you can limit your search to ingredients, cook time, the number of calories included, and more?  I had no idea that they offered these options.  Have you used this?  Did it work well? 

 
     I'd love to have the ability to limit the search results to just those from blogs, and I think it'd be really helpful to have the option to search for just vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, and/or dairy-free recipes.  What would you like to see included?
