So the way reindex works in Chef 11 Server is that it fetches all
objects out of the db and puts them on the queue to be indexed.

Can you confirm that your nodes are in the db? For example `knife node
list` shows all the nodes you're expecting to see?

Might then be worth looking at some logs of expander and solr. Do you
see logs indicating the reindexing happened? Can you find node data
there or confirm no node data?

How long did you wait? Is it possible that you're expander is working
through the backlog?
