Hi
I want to convert a search system (just SQL queries) to sphinx/TS and have some troubles, and i hope someone can help me. The aim is to search users by first/lastname and a description text field. A user has many friends. Depending on the users privacy settings his visibility in the search by first/lastname is restricted to his friends or to everyone. Search by description is never restricted. Maybe an example can clear things up: User "Santa Claus" has "search privacy" turned on. If you are a friend you can still find him by the search "Santa". If you aren't a friend, then you can't find him with "Santa" but with "Christmas" because "Christmas" appears on a his description text. So it something like "find users where search terms matches AND (privacy off OR privacy on AND his ID is in in the list of my friends ids)". I got simple search up and running real quick but is Sphinx/TS the right tool for this? How would i go about this? Thanks for your help!
