Thanks. I will look into the book and online material. OLS tokens would basically be Oracle decimals, although most are short (e.g., 1111). Each user has at least hundreds of labels, and more-privileged users have 1000-2000 right now. Right now, we query the DB for the user's labels, then stick them in a Sol fq param, so we're basically saying that we want the union of the result set matching the user's query and the result set matching the user's privileges.
