My Question or Issue

Using the offset parameter for a query is giving duplicate results.

Reproduction:

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=joji&type=track&limit=1&offset=3

{ "tracks": { "href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?offset=3&limit=1&query=joji&type=track&locale=en-GB,en;q%3D0.9,en-US;q%3D0.8", "limit": 1, "next": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?offset=4&limit=1&query=joji&type=track&locale=en-GB,en;q%3D0.9,en-US;q%3D0.8", "offset": 3, "previous": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?offset=2&limit=1&query=joji&type=track&locale=en-GB,en;q%3D0.9,en-US;q%3D0.8", "total": 6, "items": [ { ... "id": "0Y9D1Bc4fAkeZnVsGKdij6", "is_local": false, "is_playable": true, "name": "WANTED U", "popularity": 0, "preview_url": null, "track_number": 4, "type": "track", "uri": "spotify:track:0Y9D1Bc4fAkeZnVsGKdij6" } ] } }

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=joji&type=track&limit=1&offset=4

{ "tracks": { "href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?offset=4&limit=1&query=joji&type=track&locale=en-GB,en;q%3D0.9,en-US;q%3D0.8", "limit": 1, "next": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?offset=5&limit=1&query=joji&type=track&locale=en-GB,en;q%3D0.9,en-US;q%3D0.8", "offset": 4, "previous": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?offset=3&limit=1&query=joji&type=track&locale=en-GB,en;q%3D0.9,en-US;q%3D0.8", "total": 9, "items": [ { ... "id": "0Y9D1Bc4fAkeZnVsGKdij6", "is_local": false, "is_playable": true, "name": "WANTED U", "popularity": 0, "preview_url": null, "track_number": 4, "type": "track", "uri": "spotify:track:0Y9D1Bc4fAkeZnVsGKdij6" } ] } }

Expected result:

Second request should return a different track than the first.
