add ratings in search results

Since the mobile-only redesign has disabled tooltips, desktop users can no longer peek into a search result within the same tab.  Tooltips previously made it possible to quickly identify which results have editor and user ratings.  It was especially useful when searching an album series or versions.

Without tooltips, I have to open every result in a new tab while keeping the results tab open.  Unfortunately, this workaround slows down my browser and can even crash it if its bandwidth overloads.  Instead of this problematic workaround, can editor and user ratings as well as review icons (indicating an editor review) be added in search results?

P.S. another idea can partially achieve the same goal but only for editor ratings.

Neither of these elements (ratings and review icons) are available in our current search return (we made it as lightweight as possible to be fast), but we have projects in our backlog to see the impact of adding these elements to search results.

Ok Zac, but I find the redesign slower.  For example, I'm now skipping the longer wait for type-ahead search's matches by pressing enter to skip to results that I can filter.  On an artist page, the discography section also takes longer to load.
