searchPriority

Search priority of a Place is affecting the final ranking of the search results. It does NOT mean the search result would be filtered because the lower priority - it simply would rank lower than other results. The higher the priority the less the growing distance from the searched Place is affecting the ranking. The lower the priority, the more the increasing distance from the Place is affecting the ranking. Search ranks all the results depending on the final scores of these results.

Example: The place with a ranking "1" ranks normally from the vicinity of that place but would be ranked low while being searched from the distance of 300 km. The place with a ranking "11" is still an interesting search result while being searched from the distance of 300 km. While searching "airport" from Karlskrona, Sweden , the Ronneby Airport is ranked quite high as it is regionally important airport (lower search priority) but you are also able to see airports in Malmo, Copenhagen, Stockholm (higher search priority). Regionally important Place (lower search priority) as Ronneby would not be ranked anywhere near the first results when searching from Stockholm for example.
