Improved Forum and Suggestion Pages Search

I've seen this idea dating back 8 years, but topics really should include the most recent post date for both forum entries and suggestion topics. In addition, maybe it's a bug but the "Search Suggestions & Ideas" does not search Suggestions and Ideas. It searches all topics without a sort filter (at least for me). This wastes a lot of time for people trying to both find solutions and make suggestions without duplicating other people's posts which can potentially divide votes. This way you could sort key word suggestions by date rather than seeing a post from 6 years ago for, say, a dynamic lighting eraser, and know there's not already a suggestion out there for it buried six pages in. It would make being able to use your votes easier.

+1.  Forum search is largely useless because it returns results in completely random order.  At least allowing a sort by date function would make it more useable.

Thanks for the suggestion! After 30 days, Suggestions and Ideas with fewer than 10 votes are closed and the votes are refunded to promote freshness. Your suggestion didn't build the right momentum this time, but feel free to submit it again! We find that the best suggestions describe the problem you are having, and the solution you want. You can learn more about the process of making suggestions on the Roll20 Wiki! More details can be found here .
