[CT-3498] [CT-3490] DBT Docs: Add Meta As A Filter Checkbox

[DavidWeitbrecht]

Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

• [X] I have read the expectations for open source contributors
• [X] I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
• [X] I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

It would be great if the DBT docs search page could include an additional filter to search by metas. (key-value pairs which tag meta data in a model) Currently, there is the ability to search by tag:

Metas are key-value pairs and are thus better structured and organised. It would be great if these key-value pairs could be searched using the key in something like the below:

The reason this feature is being requested is because metas offer much more business value for tagging models and filtering by a key as opposed to a specific value.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternatives considered as this seems to be a relatively straight forward feature request

Who will this benefit?

This will benefit DBT devs and managers. It offers better tagging and searchability for all front end users.

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

No, sorry, I don't have the expertise

Anything else?

Nothing else to add, just a link to the DBT doc about metas
