Title: whats with the search sorting?
Post by: Flyboy on June 20, 2008, 06:49:24 AM
when you do a search in the forums you get the results randomly, any attempt to orginize them by date was a failure.
quite irritating i must say, any way to work this out?

Use advanced search, select "Most recent topics first' in 'Search order' dropdown list.

Also check box "Show results as messages" then it works

But it should work without that additional option, which makes browsing through the results cumbersome. So yes, there's still something to fix  ;)

It works correctly. The dates displayed without "Show results as messages" are dates of topic's first post, while search result is sorted by post dates.
