Ability to sort search results by activity

Currently, search results can be sorted by posted date (shown as "Age" in the sorting buttons) but not by edited date / most recent activity:

Would you find it useful to have this sorting option for search results (like the "Activity" sorting button in the Q&A posts list)?

You know, I had somehow missed that "activity" wasn't there. Oops. I've filed https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/894; I can't tell if it's an easy client-side change or a harder backend change, but with luck someone else can answer that.

Thanks for raising an issue Monica. I did try manually changing the url to include sort=activity and it didn't change the order of the list like it does for sort=age, so I guess that means there is at least some backend change required. Great to know it's on the horizon though.
