You can contribute to the ranking of a document for a given query by rating the document in a .NET search interface (see Rating a Search Result).
Because of their nature, .NET search interface Top Results (see About Top Results in .NET Search Interfaces) and mini-results (see About Mini-Results in .NET Search Interfaces) are not affected by ranking and always appear at the top of the first search result page.
Note: Your Coveo administrator can modify the relative weight of each factor in order to fine-tune ranking (see Customizing Search Results Ranking).
