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?

Are you sure? Please go to the search page at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search .
As you can see there is a select input named Search order, just below Options.
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.
