Add search filters to metadata

Problem to solve

The search team is working on adding filters for issues and merge requests. It would be good to also log any filters being used when performing searches via the payload metadata to help the team better understand how those filters are being used.

Intended users

Proposal

add new filter keys under the meta.search within the metadata payload

Permissions and Security

This is already occurring for some search related data (group_id, project_id, search, scope) so the permissions would be the same as those.

Availability & Testing

  • Unit test changes

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Perform searches with filters, verify the metadata fields are filled out with the filters used
