I totaly disagree with that... Limiting the search to a forum and sorting on forums are two totaly different things. eg: I could search for something and might want to know in what forums it has been talked about. Now I have to scroll through every searchpage to know that. Yep, I have done this before and sorting on forums would have helped a lot...

In fact sorting on user would be even more usefull then sorting on forums.
eg: I often need to search for a certain post, I know/remember roughly what was said in that post so I can search for those words, but I don't know exactly anymore who said it, but I will remember when I see the name. This happens a lot. Now I need again to scroll through every searchpage and clicking on various posts which I think it could be the post I was looking for. Sorting on author would again help a lot...

Hopefully this could be implemented.
eg. Subject sorting may present one of 2 events:
1. The subjects are sorted by Threads.
2. The subjects are sorted by The first post in each thread.
Option 2 seems useless to me. Sorting should be done by threadnumber/postnumber because that is exactly what "subject" means, option 1 in other words... Or sorting alphabeticy on the threads title, but taking in account that "RE:" etc should count , so again option 1 (but then alphabeticly)...

I should also add an option to search within subjects, because right now it only searches in messages.
that would be excellent!
