ZIP archive that contains the plug-ins to reproduce this problem and the screenshots

Since Eclipse 3.7 the org.eclipse.help.searchProcessor extension point can be used to modify the search result list (see http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_help_base_searchProcessor.html). Unfortunately, if a search processer adds items, removes items or changes the order of the items so that the returned search results list contains items of the same category but not one after another then (if "Show search categories" is enabled) this search result category is shown multiple times (see attached screenshot).
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install both plug-ins "doc.a" and "doc.b" that are contained in the attached DuplicatedSearchCategoriesBug.zip file
2. Start Eclipse and open help: "Help > Help Contents"
3. In search input field enter "DuplicatedSearchCategoriesBug" and hit "Go"
4. Make sure that "Show results categories" is enabled

Is:
The search category "Documentation A" is shown twice (see screenshot "bug.png" in DuplicatedSearchCategoriesBug.zip)

Expected/should:	
The search category "Documentation A" should only be shown one time containing "Topic 1" and "Topic 2" (see pseudo screenshot "expected.png" in DuplicatedSearchCategoriesBug.zip)
