Comintelli, A New Player in Open Source Search

May 16, 2010

Open source search information continues to arrive at the goose pond. With my decision to work on the conference program for an upcoming open source search conference, my hunch is that more information will arrive in the next month or so. The goslings and I will do what we can to capture the information that we find interesting. We will leave it to the mortgage-challenged, sharp-eyed azure chip crowd to explain the “real story.”

Just in is information about Comintelli. The article “New Enterprise Search Solution Based on Apache Solr Released by Comintelli,”  showcased this step forward for search engines. According to the article, the Enterprise’s features “include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling.” In addition, Comintelli, the Swedish technology upstart, claimed “[Enterprise] is now well-positioned to tackle any information access problems without the traditional huge license fees.” This marks an interesting step forward in searching freedom. From Harrod’s Creek, we see a possibility that the the company could attack social search. Will Comintelli deliver something special? Hopefully, the tip of the iceberg is just revealing itself with social searches. With Ask.com killing its blog search service, maybe a niche play is in the cards?
