Why is it when I search for "gordon ramsay" I keep getting 500 Errors but "beef" produces fine results?

Quick feedback:

+ I see no thumbnails, yet this is a video search engine. Plus, as a person looking for food recipes, I want to see pictures. People are very visual when looking for food especially.

+ I notice some encoding errors on some searches, "black pepper" first result.

+ Could use some more colour/flare?

Otherwise, a great index to start. Look forward to seeing improvements



Thanks for the feedback.

The Gordon Ramsay error is due to a last minute change (doh). In the meantime searching for 'ramsay' should give you the right results [http://cookblast.com/cooking/ramsay]. Edit: fixed.

Thumbnails are in the works, would have liked them to be ready for launch but thought it better to get the site out there.

That encoding error is actually from the original link itself, but I should try to clean those up.

Should probably hire a pro to do the design. Thats the best I can do without tearing my hair out!


Awesome! I was curious how gordon ramsay search would turn up because he has plenty of videos from his tv shows yelling at people, but I love his recipes. Your results only contained his recipes, very nice.
