"Order by post time" rocks. "Order by relevance" sucks.

Does anyone actually prefer the "order by relevance" default on the FR search feature?

It is VERY annoying when doing searches. I can't think of a single time that I found the default "relevance" function to be preferable to the "time" option.

Would it be terribly difficult to:

(1) Change it globally in the FR software, or, (2) Allow the "time" option in personal preferences?

Order by time should be the default.

What is the criteria for "order by relevance?

Will I ever use "order by relevance"?

NO!

It never would have occurred to me to start a thread about it, but I also hate the default search.

It means I have to search twice everytime.

Since we're nitpicking, I think we need a little more color around here. Very bland, like a hospital cafeteria.

You are clearly a liberal intigator. Swiss is the way to go.

I agree, it would be an big improvement if the search default was by post date.

Agreed. As it is now, I must search twice before posting anything. I think the default should be by time of posting.

I pointed this out to Jim a couple of months ago, and he basically said tough noogies.

The more color, the bulkier the html. I'd sooner it load quick. Though it would be neat if personal preferences could create "skins" for FR.

All of the "Swiss" cheese I eat is made in the good old U.S. of A.
