We're being told it's missing coz technology, algorithm, BM25, tweaking the algorithm and what not.
Even the column headers that are used to sort notes become dud buttons when the "note list panel" displays search results.
somebody went throught the trouble to implementing the feature (with minor issues) but the PR was rejected.
To me it seems somebody really wants to us to use the BM25(or whatever) when what we really want is a dumb sorting.
