Chef offers 4 [Search Index Names](http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Search#Search-SearchIndexNames), of which `node` and `role` are currently of interest to LittleChef users. The automatic node data bag provides search capabilities over all nodes. We should do the same with roles.

Example of cookbook using this functionality: [nagios](https://github.com/cookbooks/nagios/blob/master/recipes/server.rb#L44)
