By default the search also finds answers, and since there are no answers attached to *those* (you cannot answer an answer, after all), it shows them as well.

To get rid of them, specifically ask for questions by adding `post_type:1` to the search.

Having said that, maybe it would be a good idea if `answers:0` would imply a post type that in principle could have answers attached (AFAIK currently questions are the only post type with that property)
