Search sorting...
« on: February 06, 2008, 08:22:02 PM »
Is there anyway to sort the results of a search?  Am I missing it?  Not too long ago I was trying to search for something that was fairly recent, but had difficulty finding what I was looking for because I had a whole bunch of stuff turn up that was not related to what I was looking for.  I am might just suck at searching though.

In the Search, you can specify a "Message Age."  That should narrow your results down.  You can also order by "Most/Least Recent Messages First" and choose which boards to search.

I'm a grade A dumbass.  I see now.  I always just typed in the search field and wanted to sort afterward if necessary.  I never noticed the search tab, which after being here for almost a year ya'd think that I would.  *takes palm strikes forehead, Hard*

Ow!  I deserved it though.  Looking at that search tab there are all kinds of options that I wanted.  So to reiterate, I am a dumbass.
