NOTE To search metadata you need to add a 4th rule "rule_*_subtype"
Operators for metadata are using the text/tag types AND numeric types in a single list as they can be ints/strings/dates.
Currently there is not a simple way to identify what metadata types you have saved. New methods will be created for this.

| 5 | is not |
| 6 (Text Only) | sounds like |

To search a mixed type like metadata you must search using 4 rules.
- Search rule 1 for band containing 'Prodigy', Search Rule 2 for bbm > 120
- rule name (e.g. rule_1['metadata'], rule_2['metadata'])
- rule operator (e.g. rule_1_operator[0], rule_2_operator[12])
- rule input (e.g. rule_1_input['Prodigy'], rule_2_input['120'])
- rule subtype (e.g. rule_1_subtype['4'], rule_2_subtype['9'])
