    This might not be easy to change, but just in case it is easy to change after all, I mention two aspects that make searching the nForum for threads hard for me:

    1. The searches are ordered oldest-thread-first, latest-thread-last. Usually I need it the other way around.

    2. The searches are not ordered by best-matches. For instance it is very impractical to search for our thread on the Tor functor: searching for “Tor” yields loads and loads of hits where “tor” is part of another word, and one has to browse through many of them in order to find just “Tor”.

    I am using the nForum search exclusively but regularly for finding the thread for a given nnLab entry that I am required to post the next annoucnement of latest changes to. Maybe for other search purposes the present functionality is better suited.

    I get latest-thread first. I wonder if the PostBackAction does anything?

    I get latest-thread first.

    Ah. Maybe I could change some preferences. But I can’t find preferences for searching. (?)

    I wonder if the PostBackAction does anything?

    Where did you find that? (Hm, and what does it do? :-)

    I get it ordered by creation-of-discussion, I think. The PostBackAction is just how the forum communicates with itself: when you send it a request to do something it knows what the request is by that key.

    You can refine your search a little bit using the Advanced search (topish right on the search page). There, at least, you can limit your search to particular categories.

    I don’t remember if the search is simply for strings or uses any form of pattern matching. I’ll dig in and have a look.

    Thanks, Andrew.

    I get it ordered by creation-of-discussion, I think.

    Yes, same for me. But oldest creation first. Can you easily change it to be the other way around? Or else: what might it be that makes it be the other way around for David?

    There, at least, you can limit your search to particular categories.

    Yes, but this doesn’t help me: all the many threads that I would like the search not to show are all in “Latest changes”. I assume over 90% of all categories in general here is “Latest changes”.

    Try searching for the thread “Tor” to see what I mean…

    I second everything Urs said.

    Oh, I see you’re searching Topics rather than Comments. Comments come latest first.

    Now that’s weird.
