I came across a similar issue with creating content. I wanted the dominant term of a sub-site (made like yours) to be automatically selected when creating new content from that subdomain (I also use TAC for access control). I had to use the 'taxomony_default' modules and set the defaults using the settings.php files, the 'conf' array. If you did something this, then you would have to hack the search module to automatically filter by this default term. Not simple or elegant.

Another way is to not share the TAC tables. But then you will have to reconfigure each subsite with the TAC permissions, which depending on the number may be a rather daunting task. But then no hacking modules. This is a powerful, but complex way to differentiate your site permissions. I did this for my site at www.skejo.com.

Subject: [support] multisite technical question

Hi,

I have a multisite install where Im sharing content (nodes) , taxonomy and users. (I am only not sharing the following tables : menu, cache, variable, accesslog, watchdog)

I present content to different websites based on tags (for example subdomain1.example.com will only present blogs tagged under vocabulary subdomain1 , similar functionality for subdomain2.example.com etc..cross tagged content will appear on both sites)

The problem Im facing is with search...I want anonymous users on subdomain1.example.com to only see content tagged under subdomain1 while searching.

Is there anyway to achieve this? I have installed TAC but setting permissions for anonymous users on a per site basis is not possible...

Is there anything else I can be trying?

There is a way to change 'anonymous' user per site on administer->settings...but that only seems to change the name

Thanks,
