They should be the reverse of each other, but sorting was broken by the switch
from a custom patched Xapian omega build to using the vanilla package, and for
some time has actually been by relevance whatever you asked for.

I've now hooked up "relevance" and "date", and clarified "date" as "newest
first".

It's tricky to support both "date" and "age" in the vanilla build without
requiring JavaScript, so I've disabled the latter for now - it's the least
useful of the sort options.

Fix committed to git - will get deployed soon.

Cheers,
    Olly
