We will add some of this in a future release. The first thing we want to add is sort by date vs sort by relevance.

I could really use a sort-by-date search option for my blog, in a (not-too-distant) future release.

Thanks.

For feature request, start a new thread with a screenshot of what you want. (Don't mix them) This will help the devs to prioritize request and who knows, get you what you want quicker.

Is this not what you want?

@amoun it is possible that @michaelz wants the search paramaters to include a date range, such as search for a word in post types between this and that date?

** Update. Okay, cancel that as I misread the initial comment.

Yes, this is exactly what I want. Thanks. (Even better than waiting for a feature addition is finding that it's already available!)

As the blog gets more developed, it's becomes more difficult to find and then remember all the options. Good job there's this forum :)
