Duplicate items in search results on different pages
posted by Bene8493STAFFMOD on June 12, 2020 at 12:22 PM
Hi,
using /search/multi I sometimes get duplicate results on consecutive pages. For example: Jon Baker, id: 1546757 is the last item in /search/multi?query=jon&page=7 and the first item /search/multi?query=jon&page=8. Is this a bug or should I always take this into account and filter out duplicates when using pagination?

And how do I not consider them? They are cached. I don't know at that point what is the correct state at any point in time, because the pages are cached at different times. And I cannot accumulate them over time. I'm just a client, started for the first time.
