navigating efoodi

Navigating efoodi comes in two flavors:

(a) searching
(b) looking at somebody's content

========= Details ===============

(a) searching

You'll know you're in search mode when the tabs at the top of the page are gray, and you get the "people" tab instead of the "profile" tab furthest to the right.

(b) looking at somebody's content

In this mode, the tabs are either red or blue, and the rightmost tab is "profile".

==== Even More Details!! ===========

(a) searching

When you search, results can come from one of three categories:

* All efoodi.
* just one person's stuff (could be your own)
* just that person's friends' stuff

Tip #1: You'll know you're not searching all of efoodi when you get the purple "Social Search is On" warning. In that case, you're getting results from just one person or their friends.

Tip #2: Off to the right, you'll notice little floating boxes. Click on the phrases in "Narrow" to add keywords to your search (this'll get you fewer results), or the ones in "Expand" .. these will remove stuff from your search terms (and get you more results).

Tip #3: Search for nothing (no search terms - just hit search), this gives you a ton of results.

Tip #4: Use the "tabs" (recipes, restaurants, drinks, articles, people), to start a new search in a different genre.

Tip #5: Notice the "jump to" links below the tabs which let you switch between search and content-view mode.

(b) looking at somebody's content

You'll know you're looking at somebody else's content when the "tabs" (recipes, restaurants, drinks, articles, profile) near the top of the page are red. Click on the 'profile' tab to see who this person is.

You'll know you're looking at your own content when the tabs are blue.

Tip #1: If you click over to somebody's recipes, click on "search these" to re-organized those recipes by relevance. What's actually happening is that we're searching for nothing (no search terms) in this case (see tip #3 under topic (a)). You can do the same with restaurants, drinks, etc..
