In my firestore users collection i have a boolean profileFinished, how can i set my typesense schema to return only when that boolean is true?

You want to set that field as type: boolean in the schema. And then when doing a search, you want to set filter_by: profileFinished:true

If you don't want users to change this, you can also embed this search parameter in a scoped API key and use that api key to make the search request
