When I do a search in documentation, for example:

https://docs.python.org/3.9/search.html?q=os.walk

The links in the results are sometimes duplicated, for example this
link below shows up twice in the search result:

https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.walk

On a Mac I was unable to reproduce this - the link to the search results give me a list of two items:

1. os.walk linking to https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os.walk#os.walk

2. Changelog linking to https://docs.python.org/3.9/whatsnew/changelog.html?highlight=os.walk

However, on windows I got a list of 4 items:

1. os.walk : https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.walk

2. os.fwalk: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.fwalk

3. os.fwalk: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.fwalk

4. os.walk: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.walk


In summary: 

Mac didn't know os.fwalk. Windows didn't show the Changelog. Windows showed each link twice.
