Description
It would be nice to be able to search for all jobs that have a particular metadata in the job definition.
For example, at my company we add the following metadata to jobs.
```hcl
meta {
project_url = "<%= ENV['CI_PROJECT_URL'] %>"
branch = "<%= ENV['CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME'] %>"
ephemeral = "<%= ENV.fetch('EPHEMERAL', false) %>"
}
```
A ci process converts this to
```hcl
meta {
project_url = "gitlab.example.com"
branch = "feature_branch1"
ephemeral = "true"
}
```
We would like to use the `/search` api to search for all jobs that are more than 24 hours old, and have `ephemeral = true` set in them.

Research direction
Start by tracing the `/search` API endpoint and how job-definition metadata is represented and queried. Define how searches for metadata such as `ephemeral = true` should combine with the requested age filter, then verify that the endpoint returns only matching jobs.
