It only looks for artist+title. So it doesn't detect different versions of a song (live-vs-studio, remix, etc). De-dupulator gives you some options to filter those out by looking at the song length, the album name, etc. In the case of my personal library, "Show Duplicates" shows about 2,000 duplicates that I don't consider to be dups. If iTunes added those options to it's duplicate filter, there would be no need for de-dupulator. iTunes “Show Duplicates” is helpful but it’s too aggressive and doens’t let you adjust the filter.
