Comment (by tellyworth):

 I agree that user-controlled sorting and/or filtering will be useful.

 Ratings are somewhat complex and deserve to be considered separately I
 think. The best way to deal with them as far as search is concerned is to
 compute a score when ratings are changed, using a method something like
 this:

 ..and store the result in postmeta for ElasticSearch to use as a ranking
 factor.
