Announcing our 2025 Superstars of Search Award winners: Mouser, TE, and Coppel
Celebrating 3 incredible Lucidworks clients who transformed their search experiences and drove excellent business results.
We just wrapped up our first-ever Superstars of Search Awards, and I’m practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. Why? We get to celebrate not one but three of our most innovative clients who took search technology… and turned it into “make-your-competitors-jealous” business results.
We’re recognizing real teams and honest people who saw a challenge in their digital experiences and turned those challenges into opportunities worth millions to their companies. That’s why we’re calling them search superstars who proved that when you get digital discovery right, everything else follows. Record-breaking sales, improved user experiences, successful platform transformations – you name it, they delivered it.
Here’s what gets me excited: they’re also pushing the boundaries of what “search” even means. It’s not just the search bar anymore. It’s intelligent product recommendations, predictive browsing experiences, AI-powered content discovery, smart filters that adapt to user behavior, typeahead that anticipates needs, and automated summarization that saves time. Add a little generative AI magic into the mix, and boom – you’ve got search applications that adapt to the changing needs of customers.
All of this is well worth celebrating.
Meet our 2025 award winners
Coppel wins Innovation Award for AI-powered product discovery
Most retailers recognize that their search experiences could be improved, but they focus on the obvious fixes – faster response times, better filters, and cleaner design. The team at Coppel dug deeper. They analyzed exactly HOW their customers were searching and discovered something huge: 70% of searches focused on product types, but their catalog wasn’t structured to surface those results effectively.
While other companies might have missed this insight entirely, Coppel saw a massive growth opportunity. Working with our Lucidworks team, they built a machine learning model that automatically predicts and assigns product types during indexing. The results during El Buen Fin were incredible:
- 58% increase in product page views
- 25% increase in search-driven sales
- 6.5% increase in search-driven transactions
Mouser Electronics wins Search Superhero Award for mission-critical excellence
Managing 44 million products across 22+ languages is already a significant challenge. Seriously, can you imagine? Now add that 70% of your orders originate from online, and your customers are engineers who require exact specifications for their highly complex projects. There’s zero room for error! One wrong component recommendation could delay an entire product launch.
Our client Mouser wowed us by building a search experience that handles this complexity flawlessly. Engineers can find precise part numbers instantly, but the system also intelligently surfaces compatible alternatives and complementary components. It’s a search experience that works exactly how technical customers think and work.
We recently sat down with Mohammad Mahboob, Mouser’s Director of Search Platform, to talk about how they approach search at this scale and what’s next for their platform:

TE Connectivity wins Business Transformation Award for platform modernization
Sometimes the most significant wins come from the most ambitious projects. Our client TE Connectivity decided to modernize its entire e-commerce stack, replacing their legacy platform with the Lucidworks Platform.
With over 25 million products and a global user base relying on TE.com, the team knew the potential impact could be game-changing.
The result? A double-digit improvement in search quality that exceeded their expectations in performance. They blew past them.
Why these wins matter
Here’s the thing about working with notable clients – we get to watch them solve real problems for real people. These award winners understand that search isn’t just a feature – it’s often one of the first experiences customers have with your brand, and done right, it can be the front door to your entire business.
When Coppel’s customers find precisely what they’re looking for during Mexico’s biggest shopping event, when Mouser’s engineers discover the perfect component in seconds, when TE Connectivity’s platform transformation goes so smoothly that users don’t even notice – that’s what matters to us.
Our role as your technology partner
As Lucidworks’ Chief Client Officer, I get the best view of client success. We build the platform, provide the technology, and make sure everything runs smoothly. But our clients? They’re the ones who take our search solutions and create customer experiences that matter.
These three companies remind me why we love what we do. We’re providing search technology to enable the kind of experiences that make people’s lives easier and more productive.
Celebrating client success
To Coppel, Mouser Electronics, and TE Connectivity: you’ve set the bar incredibly high, and we couldn’t be more proud to be your technology partner. Your success drives our innovation, your feedback shapes our roadmap, and your willingness to push boundaries keeps us motivated.
To our other notable clients reading this: you inspire us every day. We’re already excited to see what you’ll accomplish for next year’s awards.
The spotlight is yours. Keep making search experiences that wow your customers.
