# About this guide

This guide contains information for the power user tasked with building end-user applications in the Endeca Discovery Framework.

The Endeca Discovery Framework enables rapid configuration of search applications—often in just minutes—that offer the highly interactive Guided Navigation® user experience across a full range of structured and unstructured enterprise data. It includes a Component SDK, which is a packaged development environment for portlets, themes, layout templates, and other portal element. Endeca has modified Liferay's version of its Plugins SDK to include the Endeca enhancements, such as the EndecaPortlet core class.
