Help me tweak this little program I built?

Hello everyone! I managed to build this little program (on my computer, not workspaces) that goes through Reddit's r/gifrecipes and prints the recipes with the ingredient you give. It works quite well, but one thing bugs me terribly.

I can't figure out how to have the program print "No __ recipes yet, I'm afraid" just when there is NO recipe that contains the keyword given by the user. I tried it all with all kinds of loops, but at the moment the closest I can get to it is having the program printing the sentence at the end of the exhaustion of the for loop.

I know the solution is close! Here is my script:

#! /usr/bin/python
import feedparser
import os
os.system('clear')


page = feedparser.parse("https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/.rss")

def gifrecipe_finder():
    os.system('clear')
    word = raw_input('\n What do you wanna cook? ')
    for i in page.entries:
        while word in i.title or word in i.link:
            print '\n'
            print ' ' + i.title
            print ' ' + i.link
            print '\n'
            break

    if word not in i.title or word in i.link:
        print '\n No {} recipes yet, I\'m afraid \n'.format(word)
        do_over()



def do_over():
    again = raw_input('\n Still hungry?(y/n) ')
    while again not in ('y', 'n'):
        again_two = raw_input('\n Sorry, didn\'t catch that.(y/n) ')
        if again_two == 'y':
            gifrecipe_finder()
        elif again_two == 'n':
                quit()
    if again == 'y':
        gifrecipe_finder()
    elif again == 'n':
            quit()
