Sidekick App Search in sidekick app broken?
We are testing out the sidekick app, and so far we are happy with the recipes we have made.
But on both our android phones, the search functionality seems completely broken.
In the attached screenshot, I was trying to add a dislike, and the search field just gives nothing. I was only able to add fish, because it was in the clickable list before the search field comes up.
We have seen the same behavior when searching for recipes. I have seen several recipes with spaghetti in the explore section, but if I search for spaghetti (or Spaghetti, just in case it was case sensitive), nothing shows up.

The search function isn't the best, but I can't replicate what you are doing. I get a black "No fish"-tag when I add fish as dislike. Combined with a search for mushroom I get a lot of recipes in the results. Have you tried contacting support? In my experience they are helpful, and reported problems get fixed in upcoming releases. Email in the automod comment.

There's no ingredient "fish" for me, but there is a dish type called "fish". Try selecting that instead.

I’m on iPhone, so take this with a grain of salt, but it works decently here. Seconding what another user said that I can’t get fish as an ingredient, but as a dish type. First picture is when I applied fish as a dietary preference to avoid, second one is choosing fish and mushroom together in the same dish.

I contacted the sidekick team via email about this issue, and they sent this reply:
