Hi Andreas, I'm unaware of a Fedora-based search solution that does that out-of-box...hopefully someone will chime in if they know of one.
As far as the core repository service goes, it does give you the ability to disallow access to individual bits of content based on policy, but it doesn't provide a policy-limited *search* that would be appropriate for your case. The built-in search in Fedora is not really designed for general use (such that you would expose it to normal, non-administrative type users). So we typically look to services outside the repository to provide the end-user search functionality. This is a hard problem, and I know people have done some thinking about how scalable, policy-limited searches could be done in such indexes, but I don't know who has a solution readily available to do it. - Chris On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 6:30 AM, Andreas Söderlund <andreas.soderlund...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I already sent this once, but apparently it got lost.
