No, each recipe can be in a separate document, it's handy if all recipes are in the same folder, but just as convenient if the classes (Christmas recipes vs Easter recipes vs Birthday recipes, etc.) have their own folders and/or sub folders.

Finder will search every document on the computer for whatever words you give it.

Or you can limit Finder to searching a specific folder with all of its subfolders.

Me? I usually let it search the whole danged 'puter, as I really need it more when something got dropped into the wrong folder!

That's how I found it, but it took several tries. If it had been in a folder marked "Recipes," I coulda done it in two shakes of a lamb's tail!

I just had to make sure it was searching all the files, and not just the laptop.

What the world needs is a tag oriented file system or TOFS.

Things don’t have folders, they have tags. A file could have a tag of “recipe” and “gift” and “enemies_list” and a knitting pattern could have a tag of “gift” and “cold”. Both would show up if you searched for “gift.” But you couldn’t do that if everything has to be categorized by folder.

Even the name could be a tag.
