Title: Search Function Sort Post by: BittBurger on February 05, 2014, 07:02:02 PM Unfortunately the search function on this site is 100% useless to me, because the results that come up, often, are from 2011 or older.
Then I look and see 200 pages of search results. When I search something, most of the time, I am trying to find a recent discussion that I can't find by drilling down the forum list manually. This makes search useless. 100% of forum search tools I have seen allow for sorting by Date, Relevance, etc. This has no sort. How do you recommend I find a thread that I saw a few days ago, and now can't find? -B- Title: Re: Search Function Sort Post by: malevolent on February 05, 2014, 09:01:41 PM Have you tried using the google search?

The default value is "Most relevant results first" but you can change it with "Most recent topics first". Hope it helps. Ok, I tested more carefully the search functione and indeed it doesn't work as expected. Probably will come with the new forum software. Would be nice, I can't wait. |
