 * i am searching within a custom post type “music” and attachment
 * i want to exclude a duplicate if the search matches the post and the attachment
   within the post
 * basically if post->ID matches attachment post->post_parent
 * one of them loads first…and should not allow the other
 * is there any way to do this before get posts like in pre_get_posts
