Related: Site-wide search #1499. We want to tweak documentation search results so searches like "TextChoices" favor reference documentation over release notes.

Tasks:

[ ] Review and share common search queries in access logs / Postgres
[ ] @pauloxnet suggest possible query to retrieve useful results
[ ] Review rankings for top N queries
[ ] Decide how to proceed with ranking

Assigning to @bmispelon to provide analytics on search from access logs / Postgres stats, for other contributors to review.

~~As we saw with Jack it will help more to be able to extract the various sections titles from the HTML content of the Document and rate them separately.~~

Actually we already are using the toc key in the JSON generated by Sphinx , which contains the titles of all the paragraphs. In the web page you can see the list under "Contents" title.
