I am sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I wanted to know if it’s possible to inject and use document metadata in ranking search results.
As an example, if I have a pool of documents that fit into 3 broad categories: “Peer Reviewed”, “Professional Journalism”, “Blog Post”, then I would like the documents from the first categeory to rank higher (all else being equal) than those in the second category, and so on. I can imagine wanting to add more metadata: eg. For highly regarded authors, poorly regarded authors, highly rated journals etc etc. Is this even possible? Is this what payloads are for? Any insights would be appreciated!
