xwiki or i need to make some changes in code for the same.Thanks.
Search results should only display what is normally visible by the
current user. So, even though you might succeed in making Lucene not
return these users in a query, the user profiles are still visible to
the user.
Another point, all users should normally be in at least one common
group, XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, unless you explicitly disable this feature.
Still, to answer your question, it should be possible to configure the
search results so that it displays only users having a group in common,
but it's not very easy. One problem is that groups are defined in a
group document, while Lucene only considers one document at a time, so
whenever it's considering whether or not to include a user document in
the results, it doesn't have access to the group definition, so you'll
have to somehow use this information some other way. One option is to
change the indexing process so that each Lucene document corresponding
to a user should also list all the groups that user belongs to. Another
option is to post-filter the results returned by Lucene so that you
remove all the user profiles that shouldn't be returned.
