Title: [Suggestion] Ascending/Descending Order for Search results
Post by: Polina_21 on April 17, 2020, 01:01:39 PM
When we search for a topic in the Bitcointalk, the search result comes randomly there is no filter or drop-down to search with ascending or descending order. If we want the recent post, the search result shows the recent post somewhere in between or in the last. We need to manually search for that topic. It will be good if we have an option to check the topics with the "Date posted" filter either ascending or descending order.

Example:

In the image, we can see that the search result is not showing the recent post first, but it is random.

The feature is already there. Scroll down in the bottom of the page and look for the drop-down box.

In the image, we can see that the search result is not showing the recent post first, but it is random.

It is sorted by "Relevance". A few hundred/thousand line script in SMS that "calculates" the most relevant result from the search performed.
Also search is limited to max 5 pages of results for server strain concerns.

If you want to change click on the search icon (the magnifying glass) and select another sorting option
