[chef] Re: I want to search nodes with i5 cpu unit, but unfortunately.

I did some more digging and my previous suggestion won't help.  See

http:docs.getchef.com/knife_search.html

What I would try next is using the AND search syntax 

knife search -i node "model_name:*Intel* AND model_name:*i5*"

Depending on the exact backend database used, there can sometimes be odd side effects with tokenizing the 

strings for building search indexes. From the face of it, your original query should work, but given the 

string, it may be triggering some odd side effects.

FWIW, I don't know if this will help or not, but your regexp doesn't match the string using Ruby/Perl style regexp. Try this.

knife search -i node "model_name:Intel.*i5.*"
