Since the upgrade the search function from the top of the topic bar has been working *better* for me. Posts sorted by date as it was a couple of years ago.

So I try searching again today and now it appears in some random order - oh dear PLEASE say it we don't have that damn good for nothing "relevance" sort order back.

In addition the advanced function - sort by date choice is gone.

IMHO - search is broken AND blows chunks yet again. If I goto the first page of the FS forum and type in the first word I see in the title topic - let's say 256mb - my first 5 search results end up coming up from over 5-6 weeks ago.

The example I am using is member "PremiumG" and his 256mb PC133 in his title. Currently on the first page of FS/T. It doesn't even come up on the first page of search results. It doesn't even come up until about a half way down on page 2 of the search.

And now the sort order under advanced doesn't even stick like it used to when you had to get a damn cookie to make that broken "feature" work.:(

Before you all go off the deep end :) I just put an update in play for this. It was ordering by thread rating by default. It won't do that now unless you click that in advanced search.
