This isn't glamorous, or even particularly interesting work, but can someone take a look at cleaning up some of the area files/items from various places to get less duplication in the official item search?

Some particularly egregious examples:

http://www.carrionfields.net/itemsearch/?item_type=any&slot=any&material=any&weapon=any&damtype=any&min_avg=&keywords=darkling&area=&affect=any&flags=&align=any&sb=level&so=desc

One of these is almost certainly not actually loaded in the area.

http://www.carrionfields.net/itemsearch/?item_type=any&slot=any&material=any&weapon=any&damtype=any&min_avg=&keywords=tunic&area=crystal+island&affect=any&flags=&align=any&sb=level&so=desc

7 of the same item? Seriously? All of crystal island has multiple dupes.

http://www.carrionfields.net/itemsearch/?item_type=any&slot=any&material=any&weapon=any&damtype=any&min_avg=&keywords=ballista&area=&affect=any&flags=&align=any&sb=level&so=desc

4 of the same bolt.

http://www.carrionfields.net/itemsearch/?item_type=any&slot=any&material=any&weapon=any&damtype=any&min_avg=&keywords=dark-elf+long&area=&affect=any&flags=&align=any&sb=level&so=desc

Two sword from two different areas that are clearly very very similar, but slightly different stats... and same name. Why?

This is the complete list of duplicate entries (I think):

Using official search you can find what the offending items are and where they are from. Maybe some Hero-Imm can go remove dupes and/or dedup the entries that have different stats so they also have different names.
