[Suggestion] Search Result Citation by DATE

#1 Post by JeSuisFlaneur »

IMO It would be useful to put the date of the original post in the search results. Some material is so dated, for my problem, that any result more than 2 years old is likely to give out-of-date information.

Thank you, Moderators and the Linux Community.

Search results show post dates. Is that not sufficient, or are they not showing for you?

On the backend it would be more helpful if members used the [solved] tags for threads. Then when reading a thread one could ascertain if the thread was relevant or a waste of time.
Typo perfectionish.
