Search Results Sort By Date Not Relevance
Search Results Sort By Date Not Relevance is a Thunderbird extension that changes the default order of search results to "Date" instead of "Relevance".
Latest version: 1.11 -- supports 3.0 - 5.*
Available for download at addons.mozilla.org
Or download the latest version here.(click and then choose "open with Thunderbird")
Normally when you do a standard CTRL-K search, aka a "faceted" search, the results are ordered by "relevance". I almost always change that to "date", but that choice is not remembered for the next search, nor is there any way to change that preference. This extension changes the default to "date". Someday perhaps i will submit a patch to the main code that just remembers whatever your last setting was, but for now, at least this extension allows you to change the default.
This does not apply to CTRL-SHIFT-F search, which already defaults to order by date.
