[Suggestion] Ability to sort search results

Basically, my suggestion is to be able to sort search results in order of popularity/recently added/relevance, etc, something like what youtube has. Right now, the search system is a tad inconvenient- I was looking for a particular Uncharted 2 article, and it was showing me results for Uncharted 1, submitted over 2 years ago, with a lot of the Uncharted 2 articles were at the middle/ end. Imo, having the option of sorting articles based on a particular criterion (especially the date of submission) would be really helpful.

re: [Suggestion] Ability to sort search results

Existence I know exactly what you mean. I was one of the first iirc, and Gothic Girl(well she agreed with me) to suggest a similar feature as well.

However the only known thing we know from the staff is what Tekmosis stated back in October 15, 08

I have future plans on upgrading the search to be more robust with features. However, at the moment I'm on a larger project so this has taken a backseat in light of that. I do already have something in the works, though.
This is a big problem for greppers like myself who constantly use the site and may link specific articles on forums when talking about specific games and sequels, and the only way for me to find them easily now is if I add them to my favorites or rate them.

This is a big need for gamegrep, or maybe if red could do something about merging neo and gamegrep in some way as right now the search function on gamegrep is definitely convoluted and a pain.

I'm surprised the search engine hasn't been refined and fixed up yet. To be blunt, it's downright terrible trying to search for specific articles on Gamegrep.

re: [Suggestion] Ability to sort search results

I agree 100%. I just joined GameGrep and am taking the time to learn the rules and how things work etc., and one of the first things I did was Search to see what type of previous news in my subject has already been submitted, but it shows up out of chronological order and is basically useless, especially for a site that demands news only 2 days old at the oldest.

If we could search and sort by Date Added that would be a major improvement, and it seems like a simple SQL adjustment to the database code.

Yes.
Not to disrespect tek but it's barely useful. =/
It's something I suggested back when, too. A year or so is too long to procrastinate!
