Use mxisd for user directory searches #77

Closed spantaleev closed 5 years ago

spantaleev commented 5 years ago

If mxisd is enabled (which it is by default), we should reverse-proxy the following endpoint: /_matrix/client/r0/user_directory/search over to mxisd.

By default, mxisd uses Synapse's database as a source. So it may seem like it will be returning the same data in such a case. However, mxisd can also search by 3PIDs.

Another benefit would be for users who enable identity store (LDAP, etc.) - making the identity store's users searchable as well.

Additional integration information is here: https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/directory.md

Note to self: when setting up the DNS override, we also need to make matrix-mxisd.service depend on matrix-synapse.service.
