How can I make "Most recent topics first" the default Search-option?

[Dwev]

If you use the advanced Search-option in SMF the default is "Most relevant results first".

But in my experience on our forum the "Most recent topics first" works way better.

Does anybody know how to set "Most recent topics first"-option as the default?

Sure,

Open up Themes\{your theme}\Search.template.php

<option value="relevance|desc">', $txt['search_orderby_relevant_first'], '</option>
<option value="num_replies|desc">', $txt['search_orderby_large_first'], '</option>
<option value="num_replies|asc">', $txt['search_orderby_small_first'], '</option>
<option value="id_msg|desc">', $txt['search_orderby_recent_first'], '</option>
<option value="id_msg|asc">', $txt['search_orderby_old_first'], '</option>

@Shambles: Couldn't find Search.template.php in Themes\{your theme} but did find it in Themes\default

Replaced the original code with yours, and it worked like a charm, thanks a million!
