How can I set featured items to show at the top of search results?

Any help with this?

What about using reverse ordering ID?

Yes, the point is that I'm trying to find some meaningful way to organize the search results.

Case in point, we have a category called "Texture". When searching for "texture", we want the items in that category to show first. However, what is happening is that any item that mentions "texture" or has a tag of "textured" is showing up first and the actual items in the "Texture" category are showing up way down the list on another page.

Likewise, we have a category called "Natura". But, if you search for "natura", all of the items that contain "natural" or "naturally" or any other form of the word are showing up first and the actual items in the "Natura" category are way down the list.

I need a definitive way to make sure the correct items are at the top of the list.

But, I need those results showing regardless of the page the user is on. That is the whole point. If a user had to navigate to a certain category first before searching, there would be no point in searching...they could just look on the page. Plus, with 200+ categories, it would be an overwhelming task to create 200+ instances of the same module. Even then, the search would not return the correct results unless you were already on the correct page.
