Hi,
Is it possible to perform a search within a template file?
Ie
search(:node, “role:web-server”)
I’ve come across Chef::Search::Query but not sure if that’s what I should be using. Passing the search results into the template as a variable won’t work for what I’m trying to do.
Partial_search would be better, but I’ll settle for search!
Thanks
Tom

It can be done using the class, but please don't. It leads to unreadable templates, and makes it really hard to know where data is coming from. Do the search in the recipe, and pass the results in as template variables, and you'll be much happier for it.
