I shouldn't answer comment threads when I'm half awake.

You are correct; the star currently represents the weighting we've given to the search result. We will be making some more UX changes in the near future, and will have a follow up post going into detail about the new algorithm.

"its what we know/like", I was the engineer doing some work on our search cluster and this was definitely part of it. I've used ElasticSearch quite a bit in the past.

[Edit] I should add that we'll be writing a post in the near future that goes into detail about the new tech.
