This is true.

I disagree here. Imagine goole returing the results in alphabetically
order. You will have trouble finding some meaningfull sites (and a lot
of website will start with aaa in their title :-)
In fact I planning to integrate some kind of ranking into my search
application, though I am not yet sure how to do this (I am thinking
about popcon and the number of occurences of the search term - however I
am not yet sure how to do this for tags yet -- any ideas would be
appreciated). Of course the user will have the possibility to disable
rating...
