Using Typesense to Search Specific Document IDs
TLDR Tshepo inquired about performing specific document ID searches in Typesense. Jason advised using the filter_by=id:=[1,2,3,etc] function or directly querying Typesense.

07:07 PMHi everyone,
I recently started playing with typesense, trying to figure out how it can fit into my system. I have to say its some great work the typesense team and community are doing.
I don't know if typesense can work for my needs but here is what i need or how my system works:
1. Get a list of ids from another database that corresponds to document ids in typesense.
2. Do a search in typesense but only search documents that are returned in the list of ids.
Is this sort of functionality possible?

07:18 PMYou could add a
filter_by=id:=[1,2,3,etc] to your search query to only search within a subset of documents07:19

07:19 PMAnother thing you could do is, add whatever fields you're querying by in your other database to Typesense and then use those fields to query Typesense directly, instead of having to do lookups in two systems.
