Hi @hellosplunkit,

Check out your console.logcommands, you have :

console.log(searchResult);

And

console.log("Data (rows): ", searchResult.data().rows);

That could be what's causing the duplication. Easiest solution would be to get rid of all the console.log and start adding them one by one to see where you get the issue. Once that is identified it should be easy to deduplicate the results.

Cheers,
David
