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?

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.
