Confluence search does have an ordering and score system:
What affects a document's score?
All documents have the same chance to appear in search results. Weightings are made up of the following:
Document Age
Newer Documents will be given a slightly higher score than older documents. Keep in mind that doesn't mean that newer documents will appear first, just that they give a slightly higher weight.
Title
Confluence will look at the number of words within a title (excluding minor words, such as "the", "and" etc), and will check how many times a word appears in the title.
Content
As with the title, Confluence will look at the number of words within the content, and check how many times the number of words appear in the content.
Popularity
Popular pages are those that have more incoming links. A page that has more incoming links will be ranked higher than other pages that share similar content.
