[chef] Unable to knife search for negative values

[Philippe Bérard < >]

Hello all

I’m trying to do a search through a data bag for specific elements containing negative values.

For example, if I have a web app data bag item with the following values, in the data bag « webapps » :

{

id:mywebapp,

name: ‘My whizzbang app’,

status: -100,

}

If I try to look for all webapps having a ‘-100’ status, I would use the lucene syntax as such :

knife search webapps ’status:\-100’

returns :

ERROR: knife search failed: invalid search query: 'status:\-100’ 

Any clue on the right syntax for this kind of search ? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
