Using document popularity in Cloud Search rankings
Monday, April 18, 2022
We’re improving search rankings in Cloud Search by taking into account document popularity. This means documents that have been clicked on by a large number of users will be prioritized in the overall search rankings. By surfacing popular and useful documents that match a user’s query, this feature will help reduce the effort and time required to find relevant documents.
