It worked with CBS and it can work here. Boycott Free Republic until the search default is changed! Who's with me?

Don't expect me to reply to any of your replies. I'm busy boycotting!

Order by time only goes back so far. Sometimes older threads can only be found by a relevance search.

Try searching for the FULL title of this thread by the default relevance ordering and you'll see that the topic has previously been discussed.

The search engine works best if you put as many related words in the field, including full titles (real or imagined--it doesn't need exactly titles.) It will fail miserably if you search for only one or two words. The more the merrier.

I'm positive people do not realize this is a feature of the search engine. Each time I've seen a duplicate post, I've searched for the FULL title and found the first posting of the thread almost always as the first result.

the endless war between subjective and objective - not much wiggle room with "post time"

I agree with you!!! Either get rid of relevance or let each member set his preference.

Order by time should be the default. Or the default should be something you can set on your configuration page.

Thanks for the overwhelming "yes" vote on this.

I think it's important.

Even though "this topic has been posted before" - can anyone honestly tell me that this topic is OVER-represented on FR?

I don't think so.
