Hi, In my opinion the results from carrot2 clustering could be used in the same way that facet results are used. That's the way I'm planning to use them. The user of the search application can narrow the search by selecting one of the facets presented in the search result presentation. These facets could come from metadata (classic facets) or from dynamically computed categories which are results from carrot2.

Is anybody already using carrot2 with solr? -- Christian -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Stanislaw Osinski Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1.

I'm one of Carrot2 developers and indeed we did some Solr integration, but from Carrot2's perspective, which I guess will not be directly useful in this case. If you have any ideas for integration, questions or requests for changes/patches, feel free to post on Carrot2 mailing list or file an issue for us. Thanks, Staszek
