Sorting Criteria for SharePoint Search Results
I tried the search feature of SharePoint and want to know how the search results are sorted. It seems that the results are not sorted by the last modified date.
Can anyone explain the criteria used for sorting the search results?
Additionally, is it possible to configure the sorting based on our preferences?
Thank you
