• Admin and Config UI: Ensures that new data can be added and search features can be tuned more easily and quickly, keeping data and search results current with user needs

• Query Parser: Handles a broader range of user inputs, helping ensure that user queries retrieve better, more complete results more quickly – and reduces the likelihood that users will see an error message

• Click Scoring: Leverages ongoing user interaction with the search system automatically, prioritizing results that users have already selected for subsequent queries of the same search term

• Alerts: When new results are available, helps automatically notify users of the availability of the information without having to return and search again and again.

Lowering the cost of growth

As you add new data and data sources, adapt user roles, and extend your application across platforms, LucidWorks Enterprise provides the features you need to deploy your application successfully at a price that is five to ten times lower than the commercial alternatives. And the lower the cost of growing your application, the faster you can grow the business the application was written to support.

• Security: Integrates with your existing security infrastructure so that you can apply your policies to the search infrastructure of documents

• Cross-Platform: Avoid lock-in to a particular platform, so you can adapt as your business changes, and draw upon a broader range of developer skillsets
