Ranking Results is Even More Important

Within the field of Information Retrieval(IR) the order in which search results are returned is extremely important. The most relevant hits are ideally returned first.
The benefit of ranking results is demonstrated by the success of Google and its PageRank algorithm. Unfortunately we do not always apply concepts of relevance ranking when we work with catalogue services. However, considering that mobile phones have a relatively small screen, relevance ranking is even more important on mobile phones.
Perhaps, this might be something to be considered for the next revisions of the Catalogue Service standard.
