Hi, There are several ways to do it, easier ones: 1. While indexing, you could store the directory and then filter results on directory while searching. 2. Run a prefix query while searching in case you can't index the directory, though I wouldn't have a reason to justify this approach.
The above solution is considering that you have restrictions on directory basis. If it involves a rather open restriction i.e. document/file basis, you would have to categorize documents while indexing i.e. also index, for each document, a field that specifies groups who have permission on this doc. Hope this helps. -- Anshum Gupta Naukri Labs! http://ai-cafe.blogspot.com The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me. The distinction is yours to draw............
