couple of questions time and search
for the parts for sale and wanted section
and is there any way to have the search go by relevance and by date at the same time. it seems if you search by relevance you get year old post first and if you go by date there is no good relevant ones.
2. Nope. If you're not seeing results you expect, post a detailed example in the search sticky. Make sure you include as much detail as possible of what you're searching for, and what you feel the search should return.

you can:
"Find items posted within the past"
[2] [Months]
(for example)
... this should somewhat reduce the amount of "noise" from more ancient posts.
