Lucid Imagination and a German Open Source Summit

March 9, 2011

In case you weren’t able to make it to Lucid Imagination’s recent 2011 Solr meet-up in Germany, the company has posted a couple of presentations here. We think you will want to download these. Our favorite is Marc Krellenstein’s but you should make your own determination based on your information needs.

The offerings include a piece on search trends by Marc Krellenstein, one of Lucid’s founders. He looks at such factors as evolving challenges, best practices, and the “current competitive landscape.” He also takes a look at Google as compared to enterprise search, and weighs the strengths and weaknesses of his company’s own Lucene/Solr.

We also liked Thomas Kwiatkowski’s and Oliver Schönherr’s discussion of the online real estate site Immobilien Scout. They detailed their methodical transfer from their legacy search and data infrastructure to Solr.

You will want to check the Lucid download location. When we tried to snag the presentation form Olaf Zschiedrich, head of German-language eBay, (eBay Kleinanzeigen), it was unavailable.

Lucene/Solr continue to gain traction in the Web and enterprise search market. For more information about Lucid Imagination, navigate to www.lucidimagination.com.
