Can advanced search results be chronological?

It's really annoying when you're trying to find a particular thread and the results are all jumbled up. If the most recent threads were at the top it would be so much easier.

Try googling whatever it is you're looking for and stick "Mumsnet" in the search. Far less frustrating!

Quite agree. I do like having it sorted by topic, but topic then date would be good, or give us the choice to sort by date or topic or alphabetical by thread title.

Have always thought this too!

Completely agree
Sometimes I have 3 decent words from a thread title - like 'great' 'nars' and 'peach' as an example, not and the or but - and still get 2012 as top hit when I know it was active yesterday

Absolutely. I usually get results for years ago when i am looking for a thread and it's really annoying.
