Is there a way to change or fix the search function to show the most current topics first? When I search, the older topics appear at the top of the results. I have to scroll down to the end of the page to find the most recent posts related to what I am searching for. I suppose this is why people commit threadomancy around here, since the search results give the oldest results first.

Thanks!

This should be in the Nuts and Bolts forum methinks. But you wouldn't have seen that one on here would you?

Please take a look around the nuts & bolts forum here, and you'll find other threads on this topic.

It is an issue we are well aware of, but an overhaul of the search engine is planned but will take some time to implement as it will be a pretty radical improvement from what we have now.
