Conditionals in Ecto Queries

This technical blog post details the process of refactoring a complex search function in an Elixir/Phoenix application using the Ecto library. The author describes moving from a long, hard-to-maintain `cond` statement handling multiple search and filter permutations to a cleaner, composable query approach using helper functions like `maybe_filter_recipes` and `maybe_where_by_search`. It's a practical guide on writing dynamic, conditional database queries in Ecto.
