Deal Listings Repeated Multiple Times when Searching Using Specifc Date and Rating

179 115 November 7, 2025 at 09:00 AM
Howdy all. When I attempt to search for deals by selecting a date and rating, it repeats each result many times.

For instance when I select:
* Date: Today
* Rating: 5+ Thumbs

It then:
* Shows the result for each deal numerous times. At the time of the search, "4-Pack Official Apple AirTag Bluetooth Tracking $29 + Free S/H" was the most recent item, and it was displayed for nearly 16 full pages. The results then went onto to the next deal and did a a similar sort of thing. Same sort of behavior for the remaining deals that are found from the search criteria.
* Please note, I do *not* have "Show Results as Posts" enabled.

Screenshot attached.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up so nicely, and for including a screenshot too. I think this issue may happen for any search that uses "search in all." If I change my search to "search in title and first post only" I no longer see any duplicates.

The search team is looking into this issue and working on fix.

Thank you again.

Apologies for the slow reply. Looks like they changed something as now when I searched the way I did initially, it shows no results until I select "search in title and first post only".

Definitely better functionality than it showing all those individual posts.


I couldn't say for certain because it's been awhile since I did those kind of searches, but I thought it used to just show individual threads and selecting "search in title and first post only" wasn't required.
