I did a search for Apps and the zone landing page appeared at #10. (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps ) It should be much higher.

Better than #10, but still #6 ... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=apps
Flags: needinfo?(lcrouch)
We should do this for all of the major pages/zones. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox (keywords: Firefox, desktop, Android) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML (keywords: HTML, HTML5) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS (keywords: CSS, CSS3) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools (keywords: tools, devtools) Marking as a blocker.

:groovecoder did you do a full reindex? the explanation (https://gist.github.com/jezdez/0b3b4f3747158ded0921) for the score shows that it uses "app" for that specific term due to stemming, can you check with another less ambiguous term for a zone? the solution for this should be having a even bigger document boot during indexing, e.g. 20 or something.

Re-indexed and these searches now return their corresponding landing pages as the #1 result: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=apps https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=firefox https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=tools https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=android https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=css3 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=html5 The other keywords' - desktop, html, css, devtools - landing pages match in the top 5. Can we monitor what search queries we get before we specialize the ranking algorithm more? The most popular high-level search term right now is "javascript" and it's #51 in terms of popularity.
