How to order search results by date (most recents fisrt)?

[frytec]

when users search something throught the search box the post list that result from that search is not organized by date.

i need the search result be ordered by most recent posts first.

how can i do that?

If the search word has 4 or more letters, a quick full text search is done and results are ordered by relevance, otherwise by post date. If you want to change this behaviour, just replace 4 with an impossible high number (say 100) around line 137 of search.php:


if (strlen(trim($search_term)) < 4) {


Please note that searches will be slower now.
