Case Study: Enforme Interactive achieves rapid GSA replacement and fast, engaging search with Lucidworks Fusion

Enforme Interactive Empowers Professional Associations with Engaging Search Using Lucidworks Fusion

Enforme Interactive builds content, learning, and membership management software for non-profit medical and scientific associations and faced a hard two-month deadline to replace Google Search Appliance/Custom Search Engine after ad requirements and relevance limits made the service untenable. Facing a tight timeline and knowing a DIY Apache Solr rebuild would take too long, Enforme needed a solution that retained Solr’s power but sped development and allowed fine-tuned control over relevance.

They implemented Lucidworks Fusion — using its Solr core, pipelines, and auto-faceting — and went live in under two months. The new search was noticeably faster, drove higher customer engagement and demand for ongoing tuning, and made features like personalization, recommendations, and analytics practical going forward, all while saving significant time and development cost versus a homegrown Solr build.
