About Hydra

Hydra brings an advanced pipeline to a search solution, through which documents have to pass before being indexed. Hydra can be used in the pipeline for simple things like extracting headlines, generate thumbnails and language detection but also for complex Natural Language Processing activities such as adding metadata about entities in a text (entity extraction) or determining the tone of an article (sentiment analysis). At customers Hydra is also used for enabling phonetic search and transliteration.

Highlights from the upcoming version include a new management console and UI, as well as Elastic Search support. More information about Hydra.
