This is a very basic Modern SharePoint question. I am not a tenant administrator so I can't implement any PnP type solutions.
I am the owner of a SharePoint site. On the site, I have a Word document that is basically a glossary of terms. When users do a search for terms on my SharePoint site, the glossary often ends up way far down the results, when I would rather it be at the top. What options do I have to make my glossary document appear higher in search results (for specific terms or frankly, for all search terms)? I can make changes to either the document or the site settings, but not anything that requires SharePoint admin access. I am also open to modifying other items on the site to move them down in the results, but don't know how do to that either.

Thanks @Susan Hanley !
The glossary is linked to from the site home page and navigation, but people aren't searching for the glossary document, they are searching for the terms that are defined within the document. There are around 100 or so terms defined in the glossary.
The title of the document is glossary, but the users are searching for the 100 or so terms within the glossary (basically, what you would usually put in an Index).
That is an interesting idea about converting the glossary to the SharePoint list. I'll have to play around with that. One problem is that the glossary does contain a lot of graphics for explaining each term.
Is there any way for me to tag the Word document with common search terms that I would want it to show up highly for? Like using page tags or something?
