How can I search for some documents by a specific keyword and have documents with a specific value for a field be more important (rank higher) than the rest? For example we are searching users but want to prioritize the badge verified ones

@Robert Preoteasa If you set verified as an integer, you can then use it in the sort_by parameter like this: sort_by: verifieddesc, text matchdesc

When does ‘per_page’ limit apply? Before or after documents are sorted?

After

thanks

No it's not possible to do that. You're referring to what's called "optional filtering" which we plan to support in the future

thanks for letting me know
