Quick Summary
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 will help reduce the effort and time required to find relevant documents.
