All things Shopify and commerce
What are you going to be able to do on your store with this feature?
The latest change to the new metafield definition system(mfdefs) lets them be added to orders, collections AND customers in the native admin. Mfdefs on customers is really powerful as it can let you put together a low effort Customer Management system.

For an example, you can add your customers' birthdates or loyalty status in Customers, or order delivery date or packaging status in Orders.
This allows adding even deeper data to resources and enable more sophisticated customizations for notifications or online sales channel themes, and data exports with the existing 11 different types without an external app.
Making even some of the above metafield definitions dyanamic using an app really ups the power as the data you need is surfaced in the native admin without having to always go into some other apps interface.
Automation apps like usemechanic , arigato, airpower that can be used to really power this feature (be sure to check feature support first before commiting to automation apps in the app store)
There are also lowcode services like zapier and integromat that can be leveraged for this.
Are there some existing customizations or discussions on the forums(url please) you think could be improved with this new feature?
What do you think your going to be able to do on your store with this feature or need help figuring out?

I really love the new Metafield Definitions! There's one thing I couldn't figured out tho...
Currently my search bar results only shows Tags, Description or Title keywords. The problem is that I created Metafields that are used in my filters on the front end but keywords (Titles) are not necessarily showing in my search bar results... Very inconvenient.
I have found this article on Shopify.dev that might solve my problem but this is too advanced... I don't know where to start or add the code. Can you help? Thanks @PaulNewton

If you need the customization you can contact me with details for pricing.
Either way if you need to customize code from shopify.dev that's advance stuff off topic of this thread, this post for listing and discussing use-cases as a jumping off point.
Make a separate post in Tech Q&A , or Online-store-2.0 , either way you'll definitely need to improve your problem description https://community.shopify.com/c/blog/how-to-get-support-from-the-community/ba-p/1399408
Its unclear what your doing and what the issue is, if your not able to resolve it using the merchant docs linked below.
The docs you linked are about setting up the filters code not for necessarily about displaying results or custom results design.
May want to go over the merchant docs first https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/customizing-themes/storefront-filters and making sure custom filters are added
Goodluck
