[chef] Re: Re: search doesn't work on the chef server

oh hi mike, thanks.

yes, I tried that, it runs smoothly but the index is still empty...

$ knife index rebuild

This operation is destructive. Rebuilding the index may take some time. You sure? (yes/no): yes

Chef::ApiClient:    success

Chef::DataBag:      success

Chef::Environment:  success

Chef::Node:         success

Chef::Role:         success

I think I'm missing the chef-expander process.

$ ps aux | grep expander

ubuntu    6540  0.0  0.0   7800   640 pts/3    S+   12:57   0:00 grep --color=auto expander
