Yeah the topic pretty much explains this enigma. Im lost, im usually looking for threads i saw a couple of days ago but when the results show up the order isnt following a time-line. So in what order are the results showing up???

Rank I presume. After you use the search something look underneath the result and you will see a "rank". I have no idea why or how the search feature does it though. A question for Achronos or a superuser I guess.

There's some function that they wrote which rates ranks how relative a search result is to your search string. Results are listed in descending order by rank. So a result ranked 2 will be listed before a search result ranked 1.

Maybe the web folks could tell us how that search works. >_>

They should adopt a system like the one they got for the news so that ppl could set a start date.
