Lucene and Lucene Solr<\/a> are well-known Open Source developer tools that are widely embedded in many products. \u00a0 Both tools are created by the company Lucid Imagaingation<\/a>. \u00a0Lucid Imagination has now announced a new product called LucidWorks Enterprise<\/a> that is built on top of Lucene\/Solr that targets the Enterprise Search market.<\/p>\n

In much the same way that Open Source Alfresco bundles large numbers of open source software components, LucidWorks Enterprise not only is a higher-level interface to Solr, it also bundles 90 other open source components, including Aperture, Zookeeper and Tika. \u00a0Features of LucidWorks include faceted navigation, auto-suggest, spellcheck, and Lucid Imagination’s new SolrCloud. \u00a0The Admin UI is designed to allow rapid configuration and setup. \u00a0A REST API is provided to allow extensions and integrations to be developed. \u00a0Other features include relevancy scoring, smart defaults, built-in data acquisition, multiple collections, document and role-based security. \u00a0Marketing for LucidWorks boasts of sub-second response times even when querying under heavy loads across many billions of documents.<\/p>\n

The advantage of LucidWorks over just plain Solr is that the product targets end users rather than developers. \u00a0It is pre-configured to ingest documents and start productively working immediately after installing it. \u00a0It also includes pre-defined data connectors so that many different document types can be read and properly indexed.<\/p>\n

It sounds great, but unfortunately it’s not free. \u00a0LucidWorks is released in a restrictive flavor of Open Source. \u00a0It is freely downloadable for development, test integration, demo and instructional use, but if you intend to use it in production, you must sign up for a support subscription. \u00a0Annual cost of the subscription is $36,000.<\/p>\n
