Suggestion - Show dates of search results

[angeljolie 188]

Would be nice if search results show the dates of when they were created. Almost always, what come up first are old/outdated threads. Alternatively, a "sort" function would also be good.

Great suggestion. I agree that this would be super useful. Or even the option to filter by most recent.

If you do the advanced search and filter by date, does that work?

Not really. I did a regular search and an advanced search for the keywords "revoked tourist visa." The regular search yielded relevant topics (but without dates nor the option to sort by date) and the advanced search yielded irrelevant topics (with the option to sort, but sorting by date didn't help as the topics yielded were irrelevant).

I came here to post this thread, but you already did it! Consider this my "seconded" or "thirded."

 

I think having creation dates listed upfront as a matter of course instead of as a function of an advanced search is especially important for information that is constantly subject to changing times/laws, as is with immigration.

Did you try selecting the Date Create or Last Updated under advance search to filter the results by dates.

Yes I did and it yielded irrelevant topics. The first screenshot below is from the advanced search, selecting the last year for date created and last updated. The second screenshot is from the quick search. Search keywords were "revoked tourist visa." As you can see, the advanced search yielded irrelevant topics but with the dates, and the quick search yielded relevant topics but absent the dates.

You are right. I tried “revoked tourist visa” as search and also, revoked AND tourist AND visa, as suggested by the advanced search but the results are irrelevant even though dates timeframe is correct.

That is such a great suggestion. I think it makes so much sense to have that feature as immigration constantly changes and it would be helpful to see most recent topics first. I hope we will see this on VJ soon.
