  • Whenever i use the search box on WordPress.org to look up an issue I am having, since I know someone else has BTDT, the results are randomly ordered. Often, the top results are 3, 4 and even 7 years old. That doesn’t do me any good as things have changed drastically since then.

    Surely there’s a way of ordering the results in date order, at the very least, or giving users the option to “sort by date”, or by relevance?

  • We know the forum search sucks. It wasn’t exactly a free choice to use Google search. The forum did use Yahoo search but that disappeared – quite suddenly and without notice. So there was a rush to add a new search asap. Google was it. You might be better off just using Google.com and something like site: wordpress.org/support keyword
