Google Recipe View : Let Our Search To Be More Personal And Productive

Every time Google is coming with something more innovative and users friendly ideas and recipe view is the one of them.Google has added a new feature Recipe View which will help the users to narrow down the search results and get the desired information which they needed.

So far whenever we needed some cooking ideas or recipes from the internet we of course search in a Google or You tube.For an example we wanted to cook Indian spicy non vegetarian curry like spicy chicken curry,we used to type in the Google search “Spicy Chicken Curry recipes” and as a search result there would be many sites displayed from where we can learn how to cook spicy chicken curry.But if we want less calories in our food or less time consuming then what to do? Because normally  they wont tell you how much calories they have in that recipes or how much time will that take in preparation,or Sometimes you don’t want to add some ingredients in some recipes but they have added up.So how to customize your recipes?

Filtered Google Searched Results without Recipe View

Now Google has given us a new feature in the search engine called “Recipe View” now we can filter or customize our search result with our requirements.

To experience  the Google recipe view search impact just go to http://www.google.com/landing/recipes/ type in the search for recipe or ingredient box(ie,cauliflower,chicken,Apple) and hit search and you will find left hand side under Recipes  “Ingredients”,”Any cook time” and “Any calories” with options to select.Now you can narrow down or customize your recipes according to your requirements.

So here is the search result which will you get.This result is more refined and perfect with the rich snippets markup.This is really awesome – Thanks to Google!!!!. By the way Recipe View  feature is available for US and Japan only according to Google Blog gradually this will be rolling out in other countries also.
