# Cluster Results

If you perform a `Query`, `Suggest`, or `SuggestOnText` query, you can set `Cluster` to `True` in the action to cluster the results that the query produces.

The IDOL Content componentreturns an `<autn:cluster>` field for each result that contains the ID of the cluster into which the result has been grouped. ID 1 is given to the cluster that forms around the most relevant result document. After this cluster forms, the cluster with the ID 2 forms around the most relevant of the remaining results, and so on.

The `ClusterThreshold` parameter in the IDOL Content component configuration file sets the percentage relevance that results must have to each other to group them in one cluster.

For example:

    action=Query&Text=cats&Cluster=True

The IDOL Content component clusters the results of the query above, and returns the ID of the cluster that each result belongs to in an `<autn:cluster>` field:
