 @SirLouen Gosh, I opened this a while ago...


 For search queries, the default sort order is by relevance, see
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/8938a326244e3fb1e27e0f64413f72fffe8467b1/src/wp-includes
 /class-wp-query.php#L2546-L2568 WP_Query code reference], rather than by
 date.

 My intent was to use that for `get_posts( ['s' => 'search term' ] );`.

 > It has not had any traction for one decade, so it seems this doesn't
 seem too demanded.

 I agree, I'll close this as wontfix.
