Meilisearch does not offer native support for promoting, pinning, and boosting specific documents so they are displayed more prominently than other search results.

### Ranking score

When using the [`showRankingScore` search parameter](/reference/api/search#ranking-score), Meilisearch adds a global ranking score field, `_rankingScore`, to each document. The `_rankingScore` is between `0.0` and `1.0`. The higher the ranking score, the more relevant the document.

Placing `"sort"` ranking rule higher in the list will emphasize exhaustive sorting over relevant sorting: your results will more closely follow the sorting order your user chose, but will not be as relevant.

#### Example

If your users care more about finding cheaper books than they care about finding specific matches to their queries, you can place `sort` much higher in the ranking rules:
