I agree with your comment on separating noise with the actual relevant result. My approach to separate relevant result with noise is not algorithmic but an absolute measure, i.e. top 5 or top 10 results will always be relevant (at-least the probability is higher). But again, that kind of simple sor

You can certainly just include the attachment count in the response and have the app apply the secondary sort. But that doesn't separate the "noise" as you say. How would you identify "noise"? If you don't have an algorithmic way to do that, I don't know how you'd manage to separate the signal
