Not sure if this was ever brought up before.
Today I wanted to look something up on SMC, and after keying in my search, I got 17 pages back with the search word in it.

Because my search involves pricing, posts dating as far back as 2003 are not very informative for what I'm looking for.
So my question is;  Is there a way that the site can arrange posts based on dates, or to have the option to arrange the posts as such?  (Similar to an Ebay search of listing "new listings" and just getting the newest ones....)

Not sure who to ask, so that's why I posted here.

Ed,
You can click the Search tab  (Home...Help...Search...Profile...etc)...then click the Advance Search link.  That will let you specify the age of the post in days - not exactly what you are looking for, but a round-about way of eliminating old posts from a search.

Forgot to add - in the Advance Search you can specify the display order.
