## Summary

Recipe search ranks saved recipes by exact title matches, ingredient overlap, and recent usage. It is intentionally unrelated to meal-plan scheduling.

## How it works

The search index normalizes recipe titles and ingredients into lowercase tokens. Query tokens are scored independently, then combined into a single descending score. The implementation keeps scoring simple so fixtures have an irrelevant but plausible product area.
