How search works

What does the search look through?
Seed names and the other names they go by count most, then scientific names, then each page's summary, then the full text of every seed page, including its questions and answers. Growing guides are searched by their title, summary and text.
What if I spell a name wrong?
When nothing matches what you typed, search looks for the seed names closest to it instead. If nothing is close enough, you'll see a few “Did you mean” suggestions.
Can I search by scientific name?
Yes. Searching for “Ocimum basilicum” finds basil.
Why do I see 20 results at most?
Search lists the 20 closest matches, best first. Add another word to narrow them down.
Can I filter seeds instead of searching?
Yes. The seed list filters by category, difficulty, sun and whether a seed grows in pots, and each category has its own page.
