Is it possible to sort by date or relevance?

Possible solution is to add sorting attributes to the query. This depends on data submitted via PageMaps. And only results with the specified sorting attribute will be returned when doing a search.

Sorting by attribute actually requires the implementation of PageMaps and submitting them to Google via Webmaster Tools. This adds a lot of ifs and buts, when trying to make the plugin as straightforward to use as possible.

Only results that does have the specified attribute (ex. date) applied in the index will be presented when doing this kind of search.

I will start off by implementing the query part of this problem into the plugin. With that available you can easily setup your content PageMaps (sitemap or inline) and a sorter dropdown in the search.php template.
