Display the Number of Documents a Dynamic Cluster Contains

You can use the document IDs that dynamic clustering returns to display how many documents a dynamic cluster contains in a front-end application.

For example, assume that a query for Apollo returns 10 result documents with the document IDs listed in the following table.

Dynamic cluster name IDs of documents in this dynamic cluster
Neil Armstrong   2     5   7   9 10
command module         5   7   9  
moon landing   2     5     8 9  
Greek mythology 1   3 4            
Zeus 1   3              

When Content displays the total number of documents that a dynamic cluster contains, it counts documents for a dynamic cluster only if they were not already counted for a previous dynamic cluster. The clusters have the following totals:

  • Neil Armstrong (5)

  • Greek mythology (3)

  • moon landing (1)

  • other (1)

Content determines the totals in the following way:

  • The Neil Armstrong cluster contains five documents.

  • The command module cluster contains only documents that were counted for the previous cluster, so it is not listed.

  • The moon landing cluster contains one document because the documents with the IDs 2, 5, and 9 were counted for previous clusters.

  • The Greek myth cluster contains three documents.

  • The Zeus cluster contains only documents that were counted for the previous cluster, so it is not listed.

  • One document that the query returned did not fit into any of the clusters. Content lists this document in the other cluster.
