Searching Foods
Foods may be searched for across all categories by clicking the “Search for Food” button to the right of the Food Selector field. A dialog box will appear asking for a search string to be entered. Searches are limited to one word of at least three letters. The results are displayed in a pop-up box overlaying the Food Selector area as depicted below. Results show the name of the food item followed by the category in which it is assigned. As with the Food Selector, a food item may be chosen and its nutritional information shown by clicking on it in the search results listing. The search results window may be closed by clicking the “Close” button in its upper right corner. A new search may be initiated by clicking the "New Search" button.


The results of a search for a particular food appears in a pop-up window
overlaying the Food Selector. Clicking on an item in the results window reveals
the nutritional values for one serving of the chosen item in the Food Nutrition area.
