Inconsistent search results

Hi, I'm searching TV for "House" in the v3 API. This generates 25 pages, 20 results at a time.
The problem I have is that the searches are inconsistent. Titles can be missing altogether or duplicated, sometimes multiple times in a single pass of 25 pages. By duplicate I mean same id with the same name. For example, "Wimzie's House" wasn't there at all in my first search, appears once in the following 2 searches and twice in my last search. There can be many duplicates per pass.
Am I missing a session ID of some sort to tie my 25 search pages together? I am using only my API key.

Hi @bibbledinkfish,
No, I don't think you're missing anything. I have never heard of/seen this happen so I am not sure. The website here uses the API for search (it's using the same methods you are). Do you see it happen here?

It does indeed happen there.
The first time I followed that link this came up twice - https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/66808 On the bottom of page 2 and on the top of page 3.

I have an idea of what could be causing it. I'll see if I can get some time to look at it today.

Shout if you need anything from this side - it's relatively easy to see the duplicates with raw API output, but less obvious through the site.
