Comparison: Drupal, Google Search Appliance And Results Relevancy

At work we have a Google Mini search appliance box, and it is presently indexing our Drupal based intranet portal as a proof-of-concept for a full blown Google Search Appliance solution. Unfortunately the results it has been giving have been messed up with too many duplicates which I’ve been struggling to prune down, I battled for a few days trying to figure this out and then left it to focus on other things with the hope that I’d have a eureka moment. And I did, it was a major D’oh moment. This is basically because there are multiple ways to get to a page in Drupal, like so:

 - http://someportal.domain.tld/drupal/NicePageName
 - http://someportal.domain.tld/drupal/node/123
 - http://someportal.domain.tld/drupal/?q=/node/123
 - http://someportal.domain.tld/drupal/?q=NicePageName
