Comment on Lemmy (etc.): allow sorting preference for search
solrize@lemmy.world 4 months agoThanks, but that is showing posts and I am hoping to sort search results. Like:
lemmy.world/search?q=trump&type=All&listingType=A…
First result is a month old. There is a pulldown to change it on a single result page, but no way to change the default.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
This URL seems to work for new: lemmy.world/search?type=Posts&listingType=All&pag…, so until they fix it in the UI you could bookmark that?
I imagine they will do a lot of work on the search feature at some point.

Oh that’s an interesting approach. Yeah I might try that. Thanks. I’m used to the magnifying glass icon being right next to the search entry field, but as long as it’s just a link anyway, I might as well use a different link.

Sometimes I want to find something, like an image that I have shared previously (for ease of reuse but also to reduce the load on the servers to not have to store it multiple times), and so I’ll want to search comments (not posts) by sth like Top Month or Top Week, but ofc cannot:-(. So instead like a chump I just go through them one by one until I find what I wanted… It’s annoying to visually see those options provided, yet they do not function as you would expect. So indeed, they need to do a lot of work on the search functions:-).
But this is a thought for the interim:-).
