  • Duplicate Identical Results

    When I search for something on my website, I get groups of responses that are identical. For example, if I search for zebra, there will only be one page with that word on it but it will show up twice (same URL) in the results. What causes this and how can I fix it?

    The URLs are not identical, one is upper case an one is lower case.
    URLs need to be treated as case sensitive.

    If on your web site you consistently use lower case, this problem will go away.This is the best solution.

    Otherwise you could turn on CRC checking in Zoom. Which isn't as efficient but should also solve the problem.

      Still Confused

      I didn't notice that! But where is Zoom finding the folder with the lower case title? It doesn't exist on the website.

        Zoom would not have made up the folder name out of thin air. It will be on your site somewhere.

        Should be possible to find the offending page from the Zoom log. Or by just doing a case sensitive search across all your HTML files (called Grep, or Find in all files depending on the tools you are using).
