Hello, I'm currently doing my dissertation for university, and I am using IMDb as a database to search for my data. Could you specify what is meant by ranking by 'popularity' when refining a search? For example, I am searching for stuttering in movies. By popularity 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' is the first result and Harry Potter is the second. Is this due to hits from search results compared to other stuttering movies? So Once upon a time in Hollywood has been searched and clicked on more than Harry Potter?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
