Comment(by endolith):

 Reasons for returning the first result first:

 * It is jarring to return the last result first, with the user not knowing
 the context of the conversation up until that point
 * It is familiar, since it's the behavior used in every other piece of
 software on the planet

 Is there any good reason why it should return the last search result
 first?

 Users will indeed habituate to bad functionality (as I have by pushing the
 search button repeatedly).  It does not follow that bad functionality
 should remain unfixed indefinitely.  If it did, all usability bugs would
 be marked "WONTFIX" as a matter of course.
