Features:
Carrot2 includes a wide range of features to help users to refine search results and find relevant information quickly and easily.
Clustering: Carrot2 uses an algorithm called Lingo to cluster search results into meaningful categories. The algorithm is based on an analysis of the content of the documents, and identifies and groups similar topics.

Yahoo, and Bing, to provide a single interface for refining search results.
Document summarization: Carrot2 can summarize documents, providing a short summary of the content. This feature can be used to quickly scan the results of a search query and identify the most relevant topics.
Dynamic clustering: Carrot2 re-clusters search results as the user refines their query, providing a more focused view of the data.
Search visualization: Carrot2 uses a special interactive visualization tool to show how search results are related. This can help users to quickly identify the most important topics and discover hidden relationships between documents.
Multi-lingual support: Carrot2 supports multiple languages and can automatically detect the language of documents. It also supports language-specific algorithms to improve its clustering results.
Customizable: Carrot2 can be configured to meet the specific needs of each application. It is highly customizable and can be easily adapted to the requirements of different search scenarios.
Open source: Carrot2 is open source software, released under the Apache 2.0 license. It is easy to install and use, and is available for download on the official website.
