Hi,
This seems to be a tricky issue judging from the other replies. I'm just
thinking out of the box now and the following options come to mind:
1) can you store the timestamp in the session in your middleware for each
user? This way it stays fixed and doesn't change the order between requests.
That would improve things for recent documents, but documents that were
close to each other, but a long time from NOW, would still have very small
differences that would be susceptible to rounding errors that can cause
results to get shuffled.

No, the problem is that, due to rounding, sometimes the docs ARE considered
ties, and therefore the secondary sort is used, but sometimes they don't
round to exactly equal, and the tiebreaker isn't used, and the results get
shuffled.

The problem comes when you have results that are all the same natural score
(because you've filtered them, with no primary search, for instance), and
are very close together in time. Then, as you page through, the order
changes. So the user experience is that they see duplicate documents, and

Hi,
You're right, it's illegal syntax to use other functions in the ms function,
which is a pity indeed.
However, you reduce the score by 50% for each year. Therefore paging through
the results shouldn't make that much of a difference because the difference in
score with NOW+2 minutes has a ne
You could always use a secondary sort as a tie-breaker, i.e: something
unique like 'documentid' or something. That would ensure a stable sort.

One suggestion: use logarithms to compress the large time range into something
easier to compare: 1/log(ms(now,date)
