I've encountered this when querying for "sparkfun" (without quotation marks) at
news.
For the initial search, using
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/news?v=1.0&q=sparkfun&rsz=large&
start=0,
it returns 4 pages (based on responseData.cursor.pages) with estimated result
count
of 25.
From there, we could expect that there are more results.
However, upon querying for the next page, using
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/news?v=1.0&q=sparkfun&rsz=large&
start=8,
it returns the exact results from the initial search but this time there is 1
page
available (based on responseData.cursor.pages) with estimated result count of 8.

Any help or hope of fixing this? When it happens it appears to be a pretty
major
fail. Thanks!

The attached file demonstrates local searchs show the same problem.
In this case there are 20+ real results. The initial 8 results and the second
set of
8 results return correctly, but the third set (start=16) is a repeat of the
second.
Looks like this is a general problem with several kinds of searches

Folks, I'm shocked and disappointed that such a serious flaw as this has not
been
addressed!
I just tried again in your AJAX demo
(http://www.google.com/uds/samples/apidocs/helloworld.html) And the 8th (end of
first page) and 9th (beginning of second page) were the same result for
'android'
Similar duplications exist frequently in other search types.
Does Google not consider this a defect?

I just found another of these errors, this time in image search, and you can
see it
at the AJAX demo listed above. In a search for 'soccer tricks tutorial'
(without
quotes), the third result on the second page of 8 is the same as the second
result on
the third page of eight.

I'm not able to reproduce any of these listed errors anymore. I'm marking this
as closed, but if someone sees it again, let us know.
Please keep in mind that search results are always changing and that similar
(and sometimes identical) results could show up more than once in a set of
results. This should be a rare occurrence, though.
