I am not really sure how the search results are relevance ranked in the search script. but can i have views, clicks and CTR part of relevance ranking so that the pages that get highest clicks would get shown up higher?
Including views,clicks and CTR in the search index

You can alter the SQL statement to order the results by some formula that is a combination of these fields. The computed relevance rank (relevance of searched fields to query) is returned in $rank as a value from 0 to 1000. So for example, to order by relevance rank coupled with Clicks, you could "order by ($$rank + Clicks/100)". (the $-sign is escaped in Vortex by doubling it). This can be assigned to $sqlorder in the <a name=fpar> function.
