I really like SE and use it everyday, but this problem has been bugging me from the start.
I always get 2 copies of files in my results. Both of the files seem to have the same location. Is this caused by there being a windows cache somewhere?
BTW my folders are set up as:
c:\
d:\downloads
d:\pictures
So there shouldn't be any overlap.
UPDATED
It seems to work better without adding any folders for some reason so maybe that's the answer.

Re: Always get duplicates in results
From the Everything FAQ:
Duplicated results
NTFS volumes are automatically indexed by "Everything".
Adding a NTFS volume as a folder index will show duplicated results.
Please remove any NTFS volumes from your folder indexes:
