Recipe Search by Name or Ingredients

Search for recipes by their name or by ingredients

Use searchRecipeByNameOrIngredient to find recipes that contain the query string in the name or in the ingredient list. This search is a variation of the recipe search query. This returns back 2 lists of compliant and non-compliant foods.

This query returns two lists of results:

onPlan and otherResults each with a list of the recipe objects.

• onPlan list which represents recipes that comply with the user's program and food preferences/restrictions.

• otherResults list represents other recipes that match the query but don't comply with the user's program or the user's food preferences.

The main difference between this search and recipeSearch is that this search returns two sets of results, as explained above.
