Lucid Works with Solr/Lucene
February 23, 2011
Lucid Imagination unveiled its enterprise search solution LucidWorks Enterprise October of last year. This platform is designed to enhance the Apache Solr/Lucene search engine experience by improving upon its operability thru the added components most missed in the open source application.
It also simplifies the GUI to make the software more approachable to the novice. The pricing structure seems to be garnering good reception, including a free downloadable version for development, test integration, demo and instructional use. There are also a several subscription packages to choose from if you require more support.
Lucid Imagination says:
“With the combination of speed, flexibility, application development depth and compelling subscription prices, LucidWorks Enterprise gives you unprecedented control over search. Smart defaults for developers and admins, innovative query parsing, application deployment and integration interfaces, security policies, faceted search navigation, more-like-this, automated user-driven results optimization, local search, and more, all combine to give your customers and users fast, high-quality search.”
I was pointed to an introduction to LucidWorks here. If you are looking for something more than a bare bones rundown, I would suggest the Lucid Imagination product page as well.
