Dan Garry <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED See Also| |https://bugzilla.wikimedia. | |org/show_bug.cgi?id=62879 Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #14 from Dan Garry <[email protected]> --- Adding in a feature to sort by date or alphabetically by title will, for the reasons explained above, result in degraded performance for the vast majority of users. It's for this reason that search engines like Google don't allow you to sort by date or alphabetically by title; it degrades the quality of the service. I'm WONTFIXing this bug accordingly, as I cannot justify adding features to CirrusSearch that degrade the experience for the vast majority of its users. That said, there may be a use case in here that does make sense, namely the ability to discard results from the search that have not been edited "recently" (for some definition of "recently"). It's possible to do that in such a way that the scoring algorithm isn't totally ignored, and therefore may not degrade user performance.
