[[chef-dev]] Search syntax change in 0.8 alpha

For those of you using the 0.8 alpha, we just committed a change that
will break certain uses of search within recipes.  Previously, we
assumed that if you did not pass a block to search, you wanted manual
iteration of the result set.  In hindsight, that was silly.  So if you
had code that did this:

results, start, total = search(:nodes, "*:*")
results.each do |node|
# Do some stuff
end

You must change it to this:

results = search(:nodes, "*:*")

Which will give you the same results, only the entire matching result set.

If you still want manual iteration, you need to specify the starting
position:

results, start, total = search(:nodes, "*:*", nil, 0, 10)

(nil is the sort order, 0 is the starting position, 10 is the number of
results to fetch at a time)

You'll want to update your recipes before you install a new Chef 0.8 gem
from HEAD.

Regards,
Adam
