Hi, I'm relatively new to Solr, new in the way that i already used Solr several times but always with a very simple approach, meaning simple fulltext search with faceting and filtering.
Today, i've to go a bit further and before i do, i'd like to get your point of view ;-) I need to index users and user contents that are subject to privacy levels like for instance : * Anyone * Only me * Only my friends * Only people i choose ...really classic. So, when an user searches for contents on the website, in the results, we can't show him the content elements he is not allowed to see. My first thought was : "There might be a way to do that with complex solr queries" So i start reading the documentation, and i have to say that i understand half of the things i read :-) And then, a new idea came to my mind. I was thinking about this process : 1- The user submits the search form with his keywords 2- I prepare a classic fulltext search query 3- I compute some way the friend list of the current user 4- I add a filter to the Solr query with the result of that 5- I send the query While this seems reasonable since i can add some cache system in the way to avoid computing the friend list each time, i don't know why, it doesn't feel right ;-) The other way would be to index users and users friends and somehow letting solr doing all the job. What do you think ? Is the second solution even possible ? Thanks !
