Doesn't that affect BM25 with a solution like Elasticsearch as well? Or is that smart enough to apply filters to the corpus statistics before calculating relevance?

You could solve that in SQLite by giving each user their own separate FTS table - not impossibly complex, but would grow increasingly messy if you have 10s of thousands of users.
