Search giving double results

All the files have double entries in the temporary search panel: One pointing to /Users/me/whatever and one to /System/Volumes/Data/Users/me/whatever

Any way to turn it off? I’m on 3736. I don’t remember this behaviour from before, did something change?

Well... that's thank to the weird filesystem mounts introduced IIRC in macOS10.15.
De-facto the same file is accessible via different paths.
In theory I can start doing some filtering, like ignoring inodes of the already visited directories, but that's a rabbit hole - what if instead somebody does want to find all these duplicates...
Don't have an answer here for now, except for, like, starting the search from /Users/me instead of the root.
