Let's say I have an item I accessed and/or updated frequently, then I'd like it to be higher up the list when I search for it.

Suppose I have 50 items that contain the word "food". It so happens to be that the item I work most frequently with is buried somewhere around index 40 in this list (it's the 40th "food" item in my entire tree), and it's rather hard to find ... I just want to search "food" and find it at the top of the search results.

  This would require a completely new method of displaying search results... in other words, unlikely to happen anytime soon.  
  
  One possible solution is to combine your search with an advanced search operator.  So if you know you updated your desired  item in the last week, search for this:
  
  food last-changed:7d 

  This only works for items that get updated... not just "accessed". You can easily trigger "updated" by adding (or removing) a space to the item.
