Microsoft Graph Search returning duplicates - microsoft-graph-api

Question

I am querying https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query with the following payload:
{
"requests": [
{
"entityTypes": [
"listItem"
],
"query": {
"queryString": "uniqueid:925211fd-fc7e-4ed8-95fb-0bd00f378e8b"
},
"trimDuplicates": true,
"fields": [
"uniqueid",
"originalpath"
]
}
]
}
Searching for UniqueID I would expect a single result, but instead I get the same item twice:
{
"value": [
{
"searchTerms": [],
"hitsContainers": [
{
"hits": [
{
"hitId": "925211fd-fc7e-4ed8-95fb-0bd00f378e8b",
"rank": 1,
"summary": "",
"resource": {
"#odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.listItem",
"fields": {
"uniqueid": "{925211fd-fc7e-4ed8-95fb-0bd00f378e8b}",
"originalpath": "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/POC/POC Docs/Employee Contracts/JohnD Employee Contract.docx"
}
}
},
{
"hitId": "925211fd-fc7e-4ed8-95fb-0bd00f378e8b",
"rank": 2,
"summary": "",
"resource": {
"#odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.listItem",
"fields": {
"uniqueid": "{925211fd-fc7e-4ed8-95fb-0bd00f378e8b}",
"originalpath": "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/POC/POC Docs/Employee Contracts/JohnD Employee Contract.docx"
}
}
}
],
"total": 2,
"moreResultsAvailable": false
}
]
}
],
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.searchResponse)"
}
I get duplicate results with other queries as well. It is not limited to this specific file. If I do the same search in SharePoint I only get a single result as expected.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

per my test, unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your issue. In my tests, I can use the following Graph API well and return only one result:
