A search query is comprised of two parts: the key and the search pattern. A search query has the following syntax:
key:search_patternwhere key is a field name that is found in the JSON description of an
indexable object on the Chef Infra Server (a role, node, client,
environment, or data bag) and search_pattern defines what will be
searched for, using one of the following search patterns: exact,
wildcard, range, or fuzzy matching. Both key and search_pattern are
case-sensitive; key has limited support for multiple character
wildcard matching using an asterisk ("*") (and as long as it is not the
first character).
