Can results be sorted by how often a term appears in subtitles, or by word count?

Filmot has no sort based on the exact number of times a term appears in a video, and no sort by transcript word count.

The closest option is BM25 Match under Sort By in the subtitle-search sidebar. This relevance score considers term frequency, how rare a term is across the index and document length, with an additional boost when query words occur close together. A video where your term appears frequently may rank higher, but the ordering is not an exact occurrence count.

Other available sorts include recorded views, likes, upload date, duration, channel rank, index date and channel variety.
