Hello!

Is there a way to differentiate pinned items in autocomplete search results via the jQuery Plugin? We want to show pinned results as "sponsored" on one of our projects, but there's nothing in the [jQuery guide](https://swiftype.com/documentation/site-search/guides/jquery), [GitHub repo](https://github.com/swiftype/swiftype-search-jquery), or [results ranking documentation](https://swiftype.com/documentation/site-search/guides/result-rankings) that covers that.

Thanks!  
-Noah

Hey @noerbot,

There's no explicit indicator, but you can tell that a result is pinned if the score is an absolute `1`. I hope that helps.

Thanks Ross! That is super helpful! So we will just add the "sponsored" flag to anything with a score of 1. 👍
