Well yes, I can understand the problem. That is why I often ask on this 
list how folks might look for a particular food item. Sometimes it is 
difficult to decide where to best put something, complicated by the 
fact that with new information coming in, and thus new files being 
created, the available files change. So I know it can be difficult when 
searching for something as well.

One suggestion in this kind of situation is to use the search engine 
available on the site. Right now it is only available from the top 
page, but when I find the time I will move it to the index or somewhere 
where it will be more visible and accessible.

I ran "marmalade" through the search engine and found 60 hits, although 
some of these will be duplicates in say the text and HTML version of 
the same file. Among the items I saw on just the first page was an 
Elizabethan orange marmalade and a rose hip marmalade. I didn't take 
the time to verify that the rose hip marmalade was a period recipe, but 
you can. :-)
