[chef] Re: Search within a template

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

It can be done using the class, but please don't. It leads to unreadable 
templates, and makes it really hard to know where data is coming from. Do the 
search in the recipe, and pass the results in as template variables, and 
you'll be much happier for it.
