I believe David Lee's recent patch for CHEF-243 [1] should make  
searches from Ferret much more usable.

Essentially, it gives the ability for the hash returned by search()  
and Ferret to be used like a real, nested hash.

e.g.:

data = {
  "parent_child_0" => "pc0",
  "parent_child_grandchild" => "gc",
  "parent_child_1" => "pc",
  "parent_child_2" => "pc2"
}

search() => h(data)

h["parent_child_0"] # => "pc0"
h["parent"]["child_0"] # => "pc0"
h["parent"]["child"]["grandchild"] # => "gc"

Mad props to David =)

AJ
