Implemented Search option to select relevancy rather than date as the default

[Stuart Wright]

I would like to request an admin option in the search options page to allow the selection of relevancy or date as the default sort order for search results.
In addition I would like whichever has been selected to be selected again by default in the main search page if the 'Search again' link is used. I.e. remember the selection.
Thanks.

This is in XFES 1.1.

Thanks Mike.

Does anyone know why this option was removed in the new XFES 2.x release?

I think I read somewhere about it, but can't remember where.

But this is a great way to get it back:
