Why am I getting duplicate rows in tableview when

Question

I have built a search view controller that searches for users, once the user has typed at least 2 letters. It works great, and no problems and issues when the user types slow. However if the user types fast into the search field, the results show up, however, the user gets displayed in two rows (duplicate rows). How can I fix this?

This is my code

@IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView!

    var isSearching = false

    private var viewIsHiddenObserver: NSKeyValueObservation?
    let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
    var usersArray = [UserModel]()

    var loggedInUser: User?
    //
    var databaseRef = Database.database().reference()
    //usikker på den koden over

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.none
        searchController.searchBar.delegate = self


        //large title
        self.title = "Discover"
        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
        } else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
        }

        self.tableView?.delegate = self
        self.tableView?.dataSource = self
        searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
        searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
        self.searchController.delegate = self;



        definesPresentationContext = true
        tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar


    }



    func searchUsers(text: String) {
        if text.count >= 2 {
            self.usersArray = [] //clear the array each time
            let endingText = text + "\u{f8ff}"
            databaseRef.child("profile").queryOrdered(byChild: "username")
                .queryStarting(atValue: text)
                .queryEnding(atValue: endingText)
                .observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in

                    for child in snapshot.children {
                        let childSnap = child as! DataSnapshot
                        print(childSnap)
                        let userObj =  Mapper<UserModel>().map(JSONObject: childSnap.value!)
                        userObj?.uid = childSnap.key
                        if childSnap.key != self.loggedInUser?.uid { //ignore this user
                            self.usersArray.append(userObj!)

                        }
                    }
                    self.tableView.reloadData()
                })
        }
    } //may need an else statement here to clear the array when there is no text


    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
        let dest = segue.destination as! UserProfileViewController
        let obj = sender as! UserModel
