About Us

Lucid Imagination is the  commercial company for Apache Lucene/Solr enterprise search technology.

We provide the planet's best search solution development platforms built on the power of Solr/Lucene open source search. LucidWorks Enterprise makes the power of Solr/Lucene open source search more accessible to the broad range of application developers and slashes the learning curve for search solution development. Unlike "black box" products, LucidWorks Enterprise allows organizations of all sizes and types to continuously tune their search to fit the ongoing needs of their users and achieve a consistently lower cost of growth.

Lucid Imagination also offers free software for developers, documentation, commercial-grade support, high-level consulting, and comprehensive training. Customers include AT&T, Sears, Ford, Verizon, Cisco, Zappos, Raytheon, The Guardian, The Smithsonian Institution, Salesforce.com, The MotleyFool, Macy's, Qualcomm, Taser, eHarmony, and many other household names around the world. Lucid Imagination is a privately held venture-funded company. The investors include Shasta Ventures, Granite Ventures, Walden International, and In-Q-Tel.

The Lucid Imagination founding team consists of several key contributors and committers to the Lucene project, as well as experts in enterprise search software development.
