 I'm currently experiencing issues that appear to be related to the second
 point of [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12660 12660], "Using just
 meta_value returns duplicate posts based on the meta_value"

 I have a post with multiple custom fields, for example

 "address" with value "123 Lorem St"[[BR]]
 "city" with value "Lorem"

 When I perform a search to return posts with any meta_value LIKE 'sequim'
 ...

 {{{
 $args = array(
         'meta_query' => array(
                 array(
                         'value' => 'lorem',
                         'compare' => 'LIKE'
                 )
         )
 );
 query_posts($args);
 }}}

 ... the post I described above is returned twice, once for each meta_value
 that matches.

 I'd expect WP to handle the result in a way that duplicate posts would not
 be returned.

 My current workaround is to require the user to choose a key to search in,
 but I'd like to be able to do more of an all-in-one search.
