    Relevanssi Light is great and it’s nice to have functioning search again. Is there a way to have the search results sorted by most recent date first?

    Relevanssi Light overrides the orderby parameter to set the order to relevance. Adding this to your theme functions.php should switch it to post date:

    remove_filter( 'posts_search_orderby', 'relevanssi_light_posts_search_orderby', 10 );
add_filter( 'posts_search_orderby', 'rl_posts_search_orderby', 10, 2 );
function rl_posts_search_orderby( $orderby, $query ) {
	if ( isset( $query->query['s'] ) ) {
		$orderby = 'post_date DESC';
	}
	return $orderby;
}
