gg search - what order are results returned in ?

by Orion Elenzil · in Site Feedback · 01/20/2009 (4:05 pm) · 2 replies

it would be nice if there were some discernable order to the results of a search.

as far as i can tell, the results are not sorted by:

* date of thread creation
* date of last comment
* author name
* thread title
* number of responses

eg www.garagegames.com/search?q=help

Best I can tell searches are pooled into 1 central location and then randommly spit out into some ungodly pattern that makes absolutely ZERO sense what ever.

Kinda makes a trip to the dentist, having all your teeth pulled with no anesthesia more preferable to actually doing a search here now.

they're probably sorted by hash key or something like that,
but it would be nice to do a user-meaningful sort afterwards.
