When using the direct search from the relationship editor, some direct search results are missing from the dropdown, and others are duplicated.

Example:

Direct web-page search result:
https://beta.musicbrainz.org/search?page=1&query=crush&type=work&limit=25&method=direct

http://musicbrainz.org/ws/js/work?q=crush&direct=true&page=1
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/js/work?q=crush&direct=true&page=2

For me, the latter two pages contain duplicate results, and other results are missing entirely.

There are 5 duplicates:
"gid":"06ef7984-5db5-498d-94dc-11b52fe8e607"
"gid":"0a723bb5-9521-4d89-8c27-f9a0b775f195"
"gid":"29375702-750e-360d-ac92-0fb09a12699d"
"gid":"99a85278-6e5a-3498-b55e-83bfffc761f3"
"gid":"e5dd3572-524a-4fde-850b-01a13d7dab8a"

I guess this also means that there are 5 missing results.

Presumably this would be fixed by making sure that search results are always ordered consistently, or maybe using some other result pagination method
