I have implemented term search based on nGrams/Filters/tokenizers for  
typeahead functionality . Where user types parts of name and it brings up  
users matching to the typed text.

But I have requirement around data modeling and implementation, for when  
someone (user A) searches other users . It should bring users matching to  
his/her term based on following order.

- People whom I follow
- People who follow me
- Everyone else.

Has anyone solved this problem using elastic search?. If yes what should be  
the data model and mappings?

-Thanks  
Rajesh
