I’ve been using chef-metal for a few days, and I’ve noticed that after the
initial instance creation, and chef-client run (initiated by chef-metal),
that, in order for the new node to be available in chef search results, I
have to manually log in to the instance and run chef-client a second
time. Waiting a few minutes isn’t a substitute. Why is this required?

The Chef server takes some time before it indexes a node--it's not so much
that you need a second run, as that you need your run to wait long enough
for solr to index the node. If you are having this problem with local
mode, that's a different issue--chef-client -z should have nodes show up in
search results instantly.

Is it possible that the first run doesn’t complete successfully?

Hm.
I just tried to reproduce this and the nodes appeared within a few minutes
after their run. Pretty sure this wasn't the behaviour I saw last night.
How's the reliability of chef search? Are there known issues? I also had a
situation a few days ago where nodes weren't appearing, uploads to my chef
server were resulting in an internal server error, and a reboot of the chef
server got rid of the errors and allowed searches to work correctly.
