Add To Log Page Update

Hi Everybody. It's been a while since I tried to slip in an update to the search code on the site. Some of you might remember what happened last time I did this, but I've got my fingers crossed.

We needed to make some fixes because, depending on the search terms used, items sometimes refused to show up in the results when they should have. I've loosened things up a bit in the other direction now, so you may end up seeing foods that probably shouldn't be in the results. But at least now when you type "chicken with oranges" you'll actually see chicken with oranges, instead of a blank page.

Other than that, the one obvious change that you'll notice is that certain search results appear in bold. This indicates items that are taken from the original USDA database of foods that made up the bulk of the database when we started this site.

In general, you'll find that these bold items have a more complete nutritional profile that includes information for all the vitamins and minerals that fall farther down on the list (vitamin D through potassium), whereas non-bold items (which have been added based on food product labels) may be missing much of this data.

As always, please let me know if I've broken anything. Thanks ...
