Hi, The big OR query should be the easiest way and it may work up to ~1000 users (ie you can specific by default 1024 boolean clause so up to N users in the OR where N = 1024 - (boolean clause in your query)). You can increase this limit of boolean clauses in the configuration but I guess too much is painful. I know that colleagues of me worked on Lucene with up to ~500 boolean wuery ith huge response time constraints and many GB indexes and it was working fine. I guess SolR will work in the same way.
