+'@backstage/create-app': patch
+---
+
+It's now possible to pass result item components a `rank`, which is captured by the analytics API when a user clicks on a search result. To apply this change, update your `/packages/app/src/components/search/SearchPage.tsx` in the following way:
+
+```diff
+// ...
+<SearchResult>
+  {({ results }) => (
+    <List>
+-     {results.map(({ type, document, highlight }) => {
++     {results.map(({ type, document, highlight, rank }) => {
+        switch (type) {
+          case 'software-catalog':
+            return (
+              <CatalogSearchResultListItem
+                key={document.location}
+                result={document}
+                highlight={highlight}
++               rank={rank}
+              />
+            );
+          case 'techdocs':
+            return (
+              <TechDocsSearchResultListItem
+                key={document.location}
+                result={document}
+                highlight={highlight}
++               rank={rank}
+              />
+            );
+          default:
+            return (
+              <DefaultResultListItem
+                key={document.location}
+                result={document}
+                highlight={highlight}
++               rank={rank}
+              />
+            );
+        }
+      })}
+    </List>
+  )}
+</SearchResult>
+// ...
+```

+If you have implemented a custom Search Modal or other custom search experience, you will want to make similar changes in those components.
