    does anyone have an easy way to give titles more importance in the search?
    as far as I can tell from my (quick) research (forums, wiki, docs), there’s really no setting for it but I wonder if anyone has come up with a creative way.
    thanks.

    You’re right that there’s no “out of the box” way to do this.  It would require some custom work on your end, or a Feature Request.  One approach might be to use a custom field “weighted_importance” and just have that be a number, and then when you returned your results you could order by that custom field.  The drawbacks of this of course, is that you’d need to manually decide on the importance of every entry.
