Hi, I am sometimes frustrated when I try to search for recipes in My Cabinet, after inputting all the varieties of liquor that I have in my cabinet, and all I get is 1000 recipes max - regardless of how many actual matches I could possibly come up with.

I have over 80 bottles of different stuff, and I know there have to be way more than 1000 recipes on your site that use combos thereof, but My Cabinet restricts the search results to no more than 1K.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a site feature that could use a little tweaking on the design end?

Thanks in advance for your help and input.

I think I actually made that limit because I never expected anyone would need to see more than that. See that feature is the most server-intensive part of the site and it makes sense to limit it to something like 1000 for 95% of the visitors to prevent it bogging down the site's resources.

For example you have all the ways to filter the results via ingredient amounts, rating, etc.

Then you have 1000 results to look through.

I didn't realise this was impeding it's usefulness to some people. If you think it would benefit some visitors I can make changes, I never really had any insightful feedback like this so I was never very aware of that problem ;)

Hey thanks for the response DM. :)

I'll try tweaking some of the filtering to see if I can master some of its features and either post back here or PM you with my results.

Thanks again! * big thumbs up *
