XF 2.2 Enhanced Search, how to set order to date instead of relevance

[vFranky]

Hello,

the default setting for search is relevance, but I like to have the output sorted by date instead. How and where can I configure this?
I am using Enhanced Search.

Kind regards,
Frank

If you mean on the search pages -- https://xenforo.com/community/search/ -- there is no configurable option related to it.

You would need to edit the search_form template.

Thank you! But where exactly?

Thank you! But where exactly?

In search_form_macros you see two occurences of

<xf:radiorow name="order" value="{$input.order|default($isRelevanceSupported ? 'relevance' : 'date')}"

change that to

<xf:radiorow name="order" value="{$input.order|default('date')}"

Walter, thank you very much!
