Add publisher-facing guidance for Store search: ranking criteria are similar to what the Actor quality score evaluates, with extra emphasis on popularity. A higher score makes higher placement more likely, though no specific position is guaranteed. Search in Apify Console is the personalization exception - same criteria, individual order per user.

Move the Store search ranking guidance to its own PR (#2653). This PR now covers only the Apify-AI-specific surface: the new Apify AI page and the Apify AI vs MCP comparison. Soften the MCP page's ranking line to avoid pre-empting the search PR's framing.
…s it Search ranking and the Actor quality score are separate systems that evaluate similar parameters, so they correlate strongly without one driving the other. Reword the publisher guidance to match.
The categories dispute guidance is owned by the Apify AI launch wave and covered in PR #2633.
Each surface uses criteria similar to the quality score, but the criteria are not identical across surfaces - so reword to "similar" and drop "the same" framing.
The ambiguous "they evaluate similar parameters, with extra emphasis on popularity" could be read as the quality score having the emphasis. Rephrase so it's clearly search ranking that weights popularity extra.
Drop the "separate systems" preamble and the "extra weight on popularity" detail. Lead directly with the correlation: search ranking uses parameters similar to those in the quality score, and the two correlate strongly.

search-actorstool uses criteria similar to the Actor quality score, with extra emphasis on popularity. Higher score = more likely placement, no guarantees.
