ratio(Mcap,float.s) bottom 5
Forgive my ignorance of the origins of the screen, but isn't that mainly searching for stocks with low nominal stock prices?
The ratio of float to shares outstanding is in a relatively small range compared to the range of stock prices, so the two share count figures (float and total) mostly cancel out and you're looking mostly at share price as ratio(price*shares,shares).
If one wanted to look for those with large or small float, which may be an economically meaningful thing to look at, wouldn't you want something like ratio(float.s,csoq1d.s)?
