I finally decided to use Algolia, which is an external service allowing to do what I wanted to do. It's really easy to use and really practical ^^ I posted samples of my data into Algolia, and the research worked perfectly ^^

Thank you for your help! :)

While it is possible to search for documents where the ID starts with a certain value, it is not possible to search for document IDs that contain a certain value.

If you need this functionality, the typical solution is to create an additional collection where you map the user ID to the relevant document IDs.
