Back in January, we wrote about the launch of
Lucid Imagination, a Massachussetts-based startup focused on support and services for open source search technologies Apache
Lucene and
Solr. ?The company has $6 million from a Series A funding round led by Granite Ventures and Walden International, and focuses on services and support for developers and enterprises using Lucene and Solr. Today, the company
has announced a strategic investment from In-Q-Tel, which invests in technology solutions for the CIA and other factions of the U.S. Intelligence Community. It looks like Lucene and Solr search technologies will be used by
18 intelligence organizations sifting through masses of data.
