Search order is from oldest to newest

To my surprise, when using the built-in search functionality on Hyvor Talk, it orders its results from oldest to newest. Is there a way to change this in the settings?
If there currently isn’t a way way to change it:

1 - It would be a nice to have as a setting in the settings panel, but more importantly:
2 - I think newest to oldest SHOULD be the standard. From a user perspective searching for a new development or update makes the most sense. Could you consider making newest to oldest the default?

[ Edit ]

Another way would to make it by default equal to the default-sort setting that effects the sort of the comments, which has Top rated / Newest / Oldest
