same file comes up twice

I've implemented Webinator 2.5 at a company intranet
site, so far so good.

Several users reported to me that they did a search and
got the same document twice. The results page had two
different 'depths' listed, meaning there seems to be
two navigation paths..the URL's returned are as follows:

http://insider.gov/manager/Admin_Instr/ ... in.15b.htm

http://insider.gov/manager/admin_instr/ ... in.15b.htm

Does the capitalization for the top link affect the entry in the database or is it the depth? As you see, files are same but the URLs returned show someone may have typed the URL in source code with just a slight change in case in one place but not the other. I guess
bottom line, is why do I get the same doc twice on a
search for, say the word 'leave' as in annual leave.

T.A.

Url path case is significant. Set the -unique option on the database before walking. That will eliminate the dups that result from sloppy filename usage.
