Spotlight search results priority

Solution 1:

System Preferences lets you choose what is displayed, but (since 10.9?) it no longer lets you select the order/priority of results. It would be nice to have that functionality back. I find that I'm constantly opening/launching something I didn't mean to because of the dynamic ordering of results in 10.11.

Solution 2:

I have noticed that as I use Spotlight, it begins to "learn" my search preferences.

For example: search caf, then select Caffeine. Repeat.

After a few times, Caffeine should become the dominant result.

Additionally, you can turn on or off what Spotlight returns in System Preferences.

• Go to  > System Preferences
• Select Spotlight
• In the Search Results tab, deselect items you don't wish to see in results.
