PC [Forum] Thread search sort

I know this board is for game support, not forum support, but I couldn't find a better option.

When you do a thread search, the results are ordered in some inscrutable manner. For long running threads, sorting by date is a better option IMO.

I accidentally discovered that if you use a blacklisted search term, you get kicked to the advanced search page which allows you to specify result sorting (though for date it's always ascending even if descending is chosen :crushed: ).

Is there a way to choose sort order on a thread search without this workaround?

 
It's so much easier to search the forums in Google...

No thanks, my pops taught me to always use the right tool for the job. :p

Plus AFAICT it's impossible to search a specific thread with google which is what this is all about.

 
Well you would just include the thread in the path but to each their own.

Google works, the forum software sucks. :)

I actually tested that and got results for the entire forum:

I guess because of the php.
