Encountering the same issue. search=sta is one of the many other examples.

I'm developing a movie browser and am getting duplicate search results because of the API returning duplicate searches.

Can I ask what you are using the API for and why is this a problem in your case?

Getting this as well. search s=test gives me this show twice.
