Think DatabaseID as my AccessRights. You can search like "other-part-of-query +(DatabaseID:id1 DatabaseID:id2)". But If you have many( how many?) terms in your query, your search will be slower. Many values in DatabaseID field is not a problem for lucene. Only, you will get a big index.

I don't think this is so. Search results should be filtered, yes, but I don't think "AccessRights" is the way to do it. I already know what documents a user can see; I'm just trying to figure out how to make lucene filter to those documents. Let's make the problem easier for a moment. If I add a "DatabaseID" field to every document, and I have a list of database IDs, can I tell lucene to only return documents in that list? The list could be in the magnitude of thousands. -- Brian
