This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Duplicate documents are returned in search result when your query includes the docsignature property in SharePoint Portal Server 2003
When you issue a query that tries to retrieve the docsignature property (urn:schemas.microsoft.com:fulltextqueryinfo:docsignature) that you included in the content index in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, duplicate documents may be returned in the search results.

This issue occurs because SharePoint Portal Server 2003 cannot retrieve the docsignature property to collapse duplicate search results.
