--- Comment #17 from Dan Garry <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Daniel Naber from comment #15) > The reason Google doesn't offer sort by date is that they usually don't even > know the date of last modification. That's incorrect. I will unashamedly admit that I got the idea for bug 62789 from looking through Google's search settings to see how they address this problem. The definitions of "recent" that they allow are anytime, past 24 hours, past week, past month, and past year. > The reason Google doesn't offer > alphabetical sort is that they are indexing the web, not an encyclopedia. That doesn't make a difference, honestly. Sorting a search alphabetically does not make sense for a search engine, whether it is a MediaWiki search engine or general search engine, as it simply makes the search engine provide less relevant results. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
