Well, it's not the pages the community creates that we're necessarily worried about... but that being said, the doc team has a QA process to ensure the best stuff (accurate, easy to read) is more prominent than stuff that hasn't been tested.

Regarding weighting, what I mean is that the search results will show official documentation first (which is all community written, btw) for two documents that otherwise equally match the search phrase.

For example, if two identical documents exist, one in help.ubuntu.com, the other in wiki.ubuntu.com, the help.ubuntu.com doc shows above the wiki doc. However, if the only matching doc is on the wiki, it will be shown in the search results.

If a person wishes to only search the wiki, or only see results from the wiki, they can do that. Likewise, if we wish to make a search box that says, "search all of help.ubuntu.com" we can do that as well.
