Thanks for the reply Steven. The search started giving a 400 Bad Request in Chef 11. Specifically all I was getting on the client end was this:

Net::HTTPServerException

------------------------

400 "Bad Request"

Digging deeper, I was able to figure out the root cause of my problem. The issue is that my query had newline characters in it. So for instance, the query

search(:node, "my_attribute:test AND (roles:first_role 

                                                        OR roles:second_role 

                                                        OR roles:third_role 

                                                        OR roles:fourth_role)")

This will work just fine with Chef 10 but will fail with Chef 11 with the 400 error. Removing the newlines, I was able to get it working for both versions.

Do you think this is a bug or an expected behavior? I wasn't able to find any documentation surrounding this here[1].

When you say that the search started to fail, do you mean that you are
receiving an error message or that the search no longer returns the
expected results?

Sincerely,
