Can you explain lucidly (My knowledge in this field is almost zero) how the search engine rank matching results when a user performs a search (I think this is called search engine algorithm)? What are ranking factors? For example, the number of times that a searched string is repeated in a post is the main ranking factor? Is there any specific algorithm including such factors that the search engine use to rank matching results?
I read some documents on the official website of ElasticSearch, but I could not find the answer there.
Thanks for your answer. I asked this question to edit some more relevant posts so that they are appeared at the top of the search results when a given terms are searched for.
So, according to your answer, to accomplish that, the best way is adding many repetitions of the given terms in such posts?
Please note that I am not an administrator of the website, which is equipped with ElasticSearch, to control the tools you mentioned. I am just a regular user who can edit posts. Now, in this case, the best solution is the way I mentioned in the previous reply?
