yay -Ss output: what do the numbers in brackets mean?

Searching for AUR packages with yay -Ss displays the package name, version, and 2 more numbers in brackets, highlighted in the examples given below. I'm guessing they also have to do with the version, but can't figure out exactly what they mean. Can someone please help?

aur/ipe 7.2.28-1 (+80 0.44) (Installed)
    The extensible drawing editor

aur/dwdiff 2.1.4-7 (+2 0.00) (Installed: 2.1.4-6)
    A diff program that operates at the word level instead of the line level

Thanks, and apologies if this is a dumb question (I couldn't find the answer on the web).

Looks like 'votes' and 'popularity'.

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.

It seems to be correct! Votes and popularity
