Hi! I've been away from foreman for a little while . . . reading this
blog post on Advanced Search
<http://blog.theforeman.org/2012/01/getting-foreman-search-results-into.html>
made
me think that foreman can store exported resources . . . is that the
case? If so, can foreman effectively replace puppetDB?
Thanks a lot!

No it's not the case. Exported resources have to be stored in
PuppetDB. I don't think it's impossible that Foreman could have this
at some point, but personally I see it as a huge effort with a very
small upside, especially taking into account Foreman integrates well
with PuppetDB and setting it up is really easy.
If you're going to use PuppetDB & Foreman, you probably want to use
this plugin: https://github.com/theforeman/puppetdb_foreman

the usage case described in the blog is similar but is not exported
resources.
the idea in the blog is simply to define search, for example, all hosts
that <filter condition> and then to execute something based on the result.
granted, the end result could be very similar to exported resources, and
you could filter based on additional properties that exported resources
cant (e.g. you can query for all hosts that belongs to domain x and their
last puppet run was successful )
