What is the difference between "SMD/SMT" and "Straight" about Mounting Direction?

I'm looking for a tactile switch for mounting on a PCB. I use Mouser to find them. https://www.mouser.jp/Electromechanical/Switches/Tactile-Switches/_/N-5g2m?P=1z0z7pt

In that page, there is Mounting Direction filter, and there are 3 options: Right Angle, SMD/SMT, and Straight.

I know the meaning of Right Angle, but I don't know the difference between SMD/SMT and Straight when I select SMD/SMT with Mounting Style filter.

I thought there are no differences in terms of the way to mount and actuator orientation, but actually, the number of search results are different.

What is the difference?
