Description
WordPress is known to have quite a poor default search results logic. This is the reason plugins like relevanssi come to exist. Would it be possible to allow for customized weighting of content attributes such as title, excerpt etc, to improve the accuracy of search results?
It seems odd one needs to use a plugin to achieve decent search results across a site. Appreciate the time to look into this.
Thanks.

I wanted to just provide a bit more context on this ticket. A more detailed and up to date explanation of the current state of search in WordPress can be found here: #45606#comment:2. Because that ticket includes considerations for the new block editor, let's direct any conversation to that ticket if a new solution arises that WordPress Core can utilize.
This is a common issue I myself hear of - and definitely needs looking into.
