Similarity search using bingo-elastic

Hi guys,

I've been using bingo-elastic(python) to get some similarities to certain compounds, but got confused. Here is the situation:

I was trying to get some similarities using the following code:

compoud = indigo.loadMoleculeFromFile("CH1.mol")
sim = TanimotoSimilarityMatch(compoud, 0.5)
similar_records = repository.filter(query_subject=[sim])
for record in similar_records:
print(record.as_indigo_object(indigo).smiles(), indigo.similarity(compoud, record.as_indigo_object(indigo)))

What I meant was trying to get the top similarities and the corresponding similarity values, but I got the following outputs:

C:\...\python.exe D:\...\test.py

1. As far as I understood, I had set the min threhold of the similarity(which=0.5 in this case), but I got so many compounds with similarties less than the threhold, what happened? Did I do something wrong?
2. How could I get the similar compounds and order them in similarities at the first place? (i.e. Could I use some parameters in TanimotoSimilarityMatch or some other functions to make them in similarity order(desc or asc) at the first place?

Best,
