Capabilities that exist today with the new search include template-based "boosting" of results, a feature that's already enabled on Commons and which will boost quality content in search results: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Cirrussearch-boost...
For the record, negative boosting is possible as well. So if folks wanted to add {{NSFW}} to media files that should appear lower in search results and then apply a <100% boost to that template, that would put those results further down. Of course that would likely have unintended consequences, and also take us down the familiar road of having to figure out what to label / not label.
