Free Mod Change basic search results to sort posts by Relevance by default

[glennrocksvb]

In vBulletin 5, when you do an Advanced Search, it shows the results sorted by Relevance by default. That's good. But when you do a basic search using the Search box in the header, it shows the results sorted by Last Update by default. In many cases, this is not appropriate because if the posts that are the most relevant to your keyword are old, they will not be on top of the search result.

If you want to change the basic search results to sort posts by Relevance by default, then you need to install this mod.

Download the zip file, uncompress it and upload the XML in AdminCP > Products & Hooks > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product].

Installed, works beautifully.

Doesn't appear to work in 5.3.2; still sorted by Last Update.
