The search functionality on the new developer forums is very very bad

Is there a way to go back to the old forum? (I'm guessing not)

Or is there a way to filter/sort searches in the forum? Currently I'm getting hit with "600 results found" and they appear to be in a very strange order. I would at least want to sort by date.....

I've been struggling for 3+ months now (like hundreds of others) to enroll for the development program and I'm trying to find some clarity here on the forums.

The DevForums FAQ documents the current search syntax. I agree that there’s room for improvement here (-: If you have concrete suggestions, I’d appreciate you putting them in an enhancement request.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

I filed a feedback to allow sorting posts in both the browse and search sections:
