Thanks shai and mark for your suggestions. I initially tried DuplicateFilter and it is not giving me expected results. It removes the duplicates at query time and not in the results.

The field values may change dynamically. I want the search results to be filterted to retrieve one document per category. This is similar to 'group by' feature in database.
