Should search results be sorted by score always?

Reporting a possible bug (?) As far as I understand search results should always return sorted by score which Is a value determining relevancy. Docs report that:

Search all text fields that a media object contains (i.e. title, overview, etc). Results are ordered by the most relevant score.

If you take this example it seems like it is not always the case:

Results are:

Is there a possible problem here or I misunderstand "score" in general?
Thanks team!

Understood.

Yeah in the example first show is "From". Next movie is Spiderman Far From Home.

So it's just a question if score should be updated to the highest before returning the list on the backend side. Or just mention it in docs. That's because if you sort by score on the frontend you will change intended results order.
