What do the numbers next to filters mean?
The numbers indicate how many classes match the search criteria. These values update in real time as you apply additional filters. Filters that may lead to no results are grayed out.
What are the different sort options for classes?
Relevance: This is the default sort that takes into consideration text relevancy, class quality, as well as engagement with classes.
Newest Classes: Use this sort option to find recently published classes related to the search term.
Number of students: This option reranks classes in decreasing order of student enrollments showing the most popular classes first.
Why do I see different results when searching in another language?
To improve the search experience across different languages, the search results are reranked to boost classes in the user's selected language. As an example, when searching in Spanish language, classes that have audio in Spanish will rank higher than classes that have audio in English.
