Yeah, the parsing of Menagier is particularly problematic.  There are 
lots of recipes that refer to or bleed into others, and an awful lot of 
notes that are more commentaries on other recipes.  If I make the 
sections too small then the context is lost, but if they're too big 
then they're not specific enough to be useful.  I personally use the 
index of Menagier for a rough search and then check the full text for 
any interesting hits.

You are most welcome!  Got to work on getting some more texts online.
