From a use case perspective, what is it about the cookbooks that you'd like to search on? Maybe there's another way of going about the problem you're trying to solve.

For historical reference, the chef server used to index cookbook version information in Solr, but never exposed an API endpoint to search across that data. When the server was ported to Erlang, the cookbook indexing was removed (because it wasn't ever exposed).

cookbook version data is not indexed and so not searchable.

One simple approach: use `knife download` to obtain a full set of all
cookbook versions (put `versioned_cookbooks true` in your
knife.rb). Then you can grep/ack, etc.
