Invidious doesn't do it's own sorting or filtering, it just passes your query and search settings to YouTube and then returns the results that it got from YouTube.

You would notice the same thing if you did your search on YouTube directly. So this isn't a bug with Invidious.

Oh, that makes sense. Sorry for the noise. And thanks for the project!
