## Relevance in Search and Trending/Top Categories
Increasing your bid and receiving tips on your content/channel, increases it's relevance in search results and discoverability through the Trending and Top categories in the LBRY app (Starting in version 0.34). Trending calculations are based on how much the LBC bid has increased through any bid updates and tips, compared to all the other claims on LBRY. Top will display a highest bid first view of the content under a certain tag (or for Everyone).
