Hi Folks,

I have used Hibernate Search to retrieve a list of results successfully. I would not like to limit the list based on a list of ids that the logged-in user can see. Is there a way to do this with Hibernate Search directly?

I would filter them manually, but I am using pagination, so the total number of results would not match up (as I would get the total number of search results returned, rather than the total number of filtered results).

Thanks for your help
All the best,

Hi,

filtering is the right idea. You would use a query filter as described here - http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#query-filter.

The result size will be the result size of the filtered results.

Hi Hardy,

Thanks for the reply. I have just finished a workaround which is probably a better solution for my data. I have got hierarchical data and I'm using hierarchical sets (I can't remember the proper term :) ) in which I store a left and right value against each node. For our solution we want to be able to search down a branch of the tree (depending on where the user is logged in), so I used a range query + boolean junction.

I was having trouble getting the range query working until I added @NumericField to the field in question. I didn't realise it was needed.

Thanks for the answer, I'm sure I'll need to use the query filter in the future.

All the best,
Ash
