Windows explorer search

I have one file in my documents named exactly "garden 2003" yet a search for
GARDEN lists it 3 times in exactly the same location, size, and date/time as
well as showing the other 5 GARDEN files three times each

This duplicate listing happens on every search I run on any file. How may I
get it to list each found file only once?

I asked this long ago but never resolved it. Sorry for repeat.

XP SP3

Thanks Mel

Research online tells me that duplicate file remover will remove the ONLY
existing file and all three search results.

Duplicate file remover wouldn't help. He said it's the same file it's
just showing multiple times.

Thanks to the two who replied BUT it looks like this will be my second try
at fixing this with no success. sure must be a offbeat problem.

What search program are you using?

Do you mean click start---search---all files and folders?
Did you compress (move to left) the found files to verify
they are identical?

Thank you for your help Unknown but now this is getting weirder. For at
least 6 months a search for a UNIQUE file in my documents would find it
three times, all identical Search was always initiated from Windows explorer
search tab. This time I did it your way from start/search which should be
the same and it found only one file and now windows explorer/search only
finds one also.
MS you blow my mind.
