If you are using more than one index then dedup will not work across
indexes. A single index should dedup correctly unless the pages are not
exact duplicates but near duplicates. The dedup process works on url
and byte hash. If the content is even 1 byte different, it doesn't work.

Near duplicate detection is another set of algorithms that haven't been
implemented in Nutch yet. On the query site you can set hte hitsPerSite
to 1 and it should limit your search results.

From what I read up on dedup this shouldn't happen though as it deletes the url with the lowest score. Is there anything else I can try to get rid of these?
