I was wondering if there was any facility to directly manipulate

when doctype:video (if I had a doctype field of course), then
results 6...* would resume natural search relevancy?
Yes, Query Elevation:

Or perhaps a variation on this, if the document where doctype:video
would appear at a fixed position or better... For example, if
somebody searched for "my widget video", there would be a relevant
document at a higher position than #5...
I don't believe the query elevation component does this, but you could
certainly do boosting to nudge particular document types scores around.
