Meal/food Search Within Past Diary Entries

It would be useful to search when the last time a particular meal, collection of foods, or individual food was eaten. In my household, we regularly have the question 'When was the last time we had cabbage, or spaghetti, or avocado salad, etc.?' And I have to click day by day in the diary until I find it, whereas being able to just type it into a diary search would save a lot of time in the meal planning process.
