What problem is this solving?
Previously, a character validation for special characters like &[]/?= was added to the productSearch query to support legacy behavior before intelligent search was introduced.
This same validation was mistakenly copied to the searchMetadata query. I've removed it, as testing confirmed that all special characters are now handled correctly and the validation is no longer needed.
How should this be manually tested?
