Verity acquired Native Minds -- Verity Response appears to be that technology. It is not search technology at all -- rather it is a programmed question-answer script knowledge base. IMO, there are much better commercial solutions to this problem; e.g., see www.inquira.com, which integrates automated natural language search (i.e., finding specific answers to natural language questions from within a text corpus) with question/answer scripting capabilities.
I believe Lucene would be an excellent foundation for a system like this, but it would need to be extended with a natural language query parser / search-query generator and, if desired, some form of scripting knowledge base. Somebody may have gone down this path, but I'm not aware of it.
