LucidWorks Has a Search App for That. What?
April 27, 2018
Is there life in enterprise search after many years of hype, razzle dazzle, and over the top marketing?
Maybe?
Lucidworks announced that they have a brand new search tool for enterprise business systems, says Global Newswire in the article, “Lucidworks Launches AI-Powered Site Search App For Enterprise.” The new application is dubbed Lucidworks Site Search and it is an easy configurable, embeddable site-based application.
Lucidworks Site Search uses workflows that optimize natural language processing and machine learning for users to personalize their search results. The application uses rich faceting and filtering to drill down for the most accurate results. Users will be able to access content and insights quicker than older applications.
The Lucidworks CEO said,
“‘Developing a website’s search with both a powerful backend and an elegant UI can be an arduous process. We’ve created Site Search to empower more teams to get site search apps done and out the door,’ explains Lucidworks CEO Will Hayes. ‘By increasing the usability through an applications-based approach, we’re able to bring Lucidworks’ operationalized AI to more customers.’”
We enjoy terms like “operationalize.” Do we understand these MBA inspired noun to verb arabesques? Not really.
Key word search is a useful utility. The new Lucidworks Site Search scans through every document, allows quick configuration, and has an attractive user interface. Elasticsearch does this as well.
We believe the future belongs to vendors with a more comprehensive next generation information access system. In short, more like Palantir Gotham or BAE NetReveal and less like the mainframe centric IBM Stairs approach.
