I have this query:

POST /contents/post/\_search

> {  
> "query" : {  
> "match": {  
> "postMessage": "game of thrones"  
> }  
> },  
> "size": 10  
> }

I'm getting several results but two of them have the same id and they're  
the same exact document (as seen below).  
On what terms can this happen?
