I find myself changing Order By → Recency about 90% of the time presently when I perform searches. I am nearly always interested in finding most recent results as a priority vs other options, especially quick searches. If I am more invested in a search I can change the function, but having Recency as the key display factor is incredibly helpful and important for many of us.
Simply being able to save this preference within preferences would be very helpful to have it as the default.
I see a user going to their Settings → General → and then having a dropdown to choose Order By Default to be one of the existing options.
