What's the Meaning of This?!?!?!

This week we talked about semantic website, and how there is a growing effort to have wed addresses have more to do with the content of the page instead of the format. This would really help with searches, so that users would know that if a page was returned after a query, its content, not just its name, has something to do with the search topic. This kind of searching improvement would really benefit recipe website, since the results would better reflect what the users is interested in making. Any benefit to recipe searching would help recipe ipod users find what they were looking for faster.
Awhile ago, my friend and I were talking about how awesome it would be, if there was a website where you could put in the ingredients you had, and it would return the dishes you could make. the user would be add to pick how many additional ingredients the recipes could have. So for example, someone could put in flour, eggs, half and half, and cheese, and choose to see all recipes with just those ingredients or two extra ingredients not listed. So the results could included scrambled eggs, Quiche, cheese omelet,frittata etc. I believe that this would require a semantic website, since it involves being able to search more than a title of a recipe.
