Searching - Page ranking?

Hello all,

I am still struggling with searching in Confluence Cloud and I am looking for solutions.

I decided to start a new thread to discuss some specific observations. My previous thread has some great tips on customizing one's searches. Thank you @Shannon S

The issue that I would like to know more about involves search results and page ranking. 

When searching Confluence, I noticed that there is no apparent page ranking. What I mean is that if, for example, I search for "certificate". I expect that the most popular or relevant and/or most recent pages will be listed first. Rather... what I get are 218 results, where the most relevant pages are listed in about 12th place. The top results don't even have the specific search term, "certificate". Instead, most of the results have the close but incorrect term, "certification". 

Thanks to community help, I learned that I can search for a specific term by issuing the following search term: title = "search term"

But is there a way to achieve proper page ranking?

Thank you

Did any one find a better way to get the search on confluence work with lesser junk results?

Is there any other custom code that we can use?

I have created a knowledge base and we have heaps of content pages, documents, images.. etc. When i try to search for a specific content using a keyword, is gets flooded with so much of unwanted and irrelavant search results. 

Is there any way to have best bets or something similar setup?
