Sorting results by date?

  • Hello, I just installed the plugin to get rid of the slow WP integrated search engine.

    1- When I tick “Enable mySQL FULLTEXT searching” query result display is very fast (less than one second on a 100.000+ articles site) But results show up by “relevancy”, though I don’t understand its logical.

    2- When I UNtick “Enable mySQL FULLTEXT searching” results show up by date but it is very slow (as the native WP search engine).

    So, is there a way to display by DATE with ticking the “Enable mySQL FULLTEXT searching”? ??

    Thank you!

    You’d need to put a function using Code Snippets plugin, or your theme’s functions.php to force this.

    This could work – please can you try it. Backup ideally before making changes.

    function wporg_bsearch_posts_orderby( $orderby, $query ) {
	global $wpdb;

	if ( $query->is_search() ) {
		$orderby = " $wpdb->posts.post_date DESC ";
	}

	return $orderby;
}
add_filter( 'posts_orderby', 'wporg_bsearch_posts_orderby', 11, 2 );
