Impact Check List

• Data loss or misrepresented data?
• Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• Is there a workaround available?
• Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
• Does this block the execution of e2e tests?
• Does this have an impact on Performance?

Initial investigation, root cause:
It appears that when searching,

1. The CouchObject provider AND the in-memory search provider support searching for 'OBJECTS'. See: https://github.com/nasa/openmct/blob/master/src/api/objects/ObjectAPI.js#L282
2. They both return results when searching for a given string
3. The results are then flattened and displayed as duplicate results

Testing Instructions

• Create an object. Name it uniquely using a generated uuid
• Search for it in the grand search
• Verify that there is only a single search result
