I did a search for "VHF", and got the following result twice in the results:-
I'm assuming this is because the text "VHF" is in both the question in answer.
Shouldn't the results returned be distinct?

You search for just "VHF" finds all posts, not just questions or answers that match. The results are not duplicate, one is a question and one is an answer (that happens to be for the question). These are different posts, so the search finds them both.
If you want to restrict your search to questions or answers, you can add constraints to your search query.
For example, searching for VHF is:question
will restrict your search results to just posts that are questions.
is:question
to your query. $\endgroup$
