Right now, the search algorithm works by relevance, which is a cloudy concept. I want to add in the ability to flip the order (ascending/descending) or to order by date.

I'm thinking that date order is a good default, but confusing to people used to relevance.

However -- ascending or descending?

descending

Every time I use the search feature, I'm personally quite surprised that it doesn't sort by date. That's how I'd like it to work - most recent first.

What D. Griswold said. Most recent date first. (Descending?)

I love the new search/sorting options. Thanks!

Cool. I switched the default sort to descending (although I'm a firm ascension gal myself).

Jon -- where are we on the style thing?

Sorry -- I've been way too busy on other projects.

I've been playing at stripping down the index page and applying positional CSS, as a learning exercise -- it's further than one needs go right now (although it would ROCK for reformatting purposes), but I'm finding it very educational.

On the other hand, it didn't work out so well for Daniel Jackson...
