Can we do a relevance-based weighted search with weight scoring in API responses?

Hi Zafar,

So, today's search API does not allow attribute weight definition, unlike matching. So matching does have that. So for the matching, that's probably where the question comes from originally, because in our matching-making mechanism, we can put in this specific weight for a specific attribute, and this weight control more precisely. Search API does not allow that today. 

At the same time, search has an internal concept of weight, and specifically, it is exposed in the form of some business card attributes. And the only way to make an attribute. today is to estimate it, part of the UI label. So once you make the attribute part of the UI label, that attribute gets an additional weight and gets higher relevance, it gets first on the spatial return from this search request.
