Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks Kevin Keane -- it was a rabbitMQ issue for me as well.  

For those with similar chef search problems, here's what I did:

1.)  I deleted my chef vhost and user from rabbitmq

2.)  Created new chef vhost and user: "rabbitmqctl add_vhost /chef" and "rabbitmqctl add_user chef ****" (Replace **** with password)

3.)  Then in /etc/chef/server.rb, I added: 

amqp_user "chef"

amqp_pass "****" where **** is the password

4.)  I restarted chef-server, chef-expander, and chef-solr just for good measure, and everything works now.  

Thanks all!

Kevin

I had that happen at times. In my case, it turned out to be a RabbitMQ issue. The manual installation instructions on the Opscode Web site describe how to set up the queues (I hope I got the terminology right). I had to first delete all the queues, and then recreate them. After that, searches started to magically work again.

Hi guys,

I am currently getting 0 items returned for any kind of knife search task.  

'knife node list' returns a list of nodes but 'knife search node "*:*"' returns
0 items.

Solr and Expander is up.  I've also updated the maxFieldLength to be 100000 as
recommended by this open issue: http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2346

Any ideas?

Thanks
