You have to customize both alfresco-share and alfresco repo side to achieve this and you've to start the workflow from site context means from the document library.

Here are the steps.

Alfresco-share

people-finder-extended.js (_buildSearchParams method). Pass the current site name in the filter. 

return "filter=" + encodeURIComponent(searchTerm) + "&maxResults=" + this.options.maxSearchResults+"&siteId="+<YOUR_CURRENT_SITE_NAME>;

Alfresco Repo You need to extend the people.java to limit the search. Methods to be modified.

  • getPeople(String,int)
  • getPeople(String,int,String,boolean)

Add extra siteId param to filter.

public Scriptable getPeople(String filter, int maxResults, String siteId)
{ 
   return getPeople(filter, maxResults, null, true, siteId);
}

public Scriptable getPeople(String filter, int maxResults, String sortBy, boolean sortAsc, String siteId) { ... }

Hope this helps you.

Please let me know, if you're not clear.
