[chef] Re: Search Doesn't Work in Attributes Files

[Adam Jacob < >]

Yep - you should be doing search from recipes, but not from attribute
files. In general, any time you are computing a value and using it as
an attribute you likely want to do that in a recipe (it avoids some
interesting issues with when new data gets applied to your
attributes.)

You can still do everything you want - just set node.default and move along.

Best,
Adam
