text: when i do a web search, how can i get my results in order of most recent? it's so frustrating to always get results for subject at top that are often many years old. what good is such old news. i'd also expect relevance of results to be factored in with that chronolgy. search results are not in order of most recent but in order of best fit. be happy of this, earlier it was a real mess as you got results that had absolutely nothing to do with what you've asked.
