I should make more sense if we separate the issues.

1. Search function. Only available in the forums, not the web pages. We had a search tool installed for the web site, but it wasn't used much. Searching the forums is easy and quite flexible. You don't have to search the recipe section, but you have the option to narrow your search.

2. Duplicate recipes: Recipes are now posted in the recipes forums. The old script to publish directly to the web site has been restricted for use, so that only selected recipes are published on the web pages.

3. Linking recipes to discussion: If you click the "Discuss" link, it should take you to a thread that contain the discussion on that recipe. If the recipe had no comments, it will create a new thread for it.
