It appears that MediaWiki's search results are displayed in order of relevance. Is there a way to configure this, either as user or admin, to display the most recently updated pages first?

See the prefer-recent option if you're using CirrusSearch.
I'm not using CirrusSearch, just the default search. There isn't a way to configure the search ordering? It's just a simple change in the query so if there isn't, there should be.
