The rollup search page appears on all rollups, no matter which form you are in. It can be accessed by expanding the rollup and clicking on the search bar. This page allows you to search for ingredients or recipes you wish to insert into the current form. The rollup search page will appear like the image below. The only difference, depending on which form you are in, will be the other pages listed at the base of the window.
To begin a search for an ingredient or recipe, type in the name of the required item in the search field. If you are unsure of the correct name, you can enter the first few letters and any items containing with those letters, in that order, will appear in the results list. See the following image.
You can then drag-n-drop the item(s) you are looking for from the results list into the current form, or alternatively, just double click an item to transfer it from the rollup into the parent form in the background.
Tool buttons that may be available on the Rollup search page (depending on which form you are in) are as follows:
