Hi Noé,
Thank you for your feedback! > It seems the new design has removed the ability to sort by date in > searches, which is a very important feature for me. We could bring back the sorting. But first, could you help me understand what you use the sorting for? Would maybe, narrowing down your search using a more targeted query suffice? Perhaps the "date:" or "mdate:" search prefix is what you need? The original sorting feature was from a time when mumi listed search results in the order of issue numbers, and the sorting feature was kind of a crutch to make up for that. For the last 2 years or so, mumi has been listing search results by relevance score. This means that the most relevant result is on the top. My thinking was that this made the sorting unnecessary. Think of how we don't sort results on Google search. I was going for the same effect. What's more, suppose you sort search results by date, this might actually be putting a very low relevance search result on top. And, a low relevance search result is probably not what you're looking for. The sort feature from earlier was really a client-side hack. It ignored things like pagination on the server-side. See https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/mumi.git/tree/mumi/xapian.scm#n252 > I also find it harder to distinguish between open and closed bugs. I agree. That's a problem. I'm thinking we should only display open issues by default. WDYT? For immediate use, you can add "is:open" to your search query. Regards, Arun
