Default search display results
 

Seems to return the older posts as results first.
Should be the other way around ( showing the more recent ones first ) to be more useful imho. :)

ie. descending order by date. most recent first.

hmm, the new posts search gives me the newest first, and everything else can be changed in the searchforms afaik?

I use the search box at the top right hand corner of this page.
Doesnt seem so , or is there some option i didnt set right ?

hmm, i've tested it and it shows newest first to me if i use the quicksearch...
