Comment:

 > Relation in Meta Query is for few meta keys but not for relation between
 search fields (post title / excerpt / content) and meta query

 Correct, for `WP_Query` we currently only support the `AND` relation
 between parameters passed. You can't for example select `post_id = 123 OR
 post_name = test-page`, the same goes for search and meta_queries.

 There's been similar proposals in the past to allow merging two WP_Query
 instances and returning a union of their results, for example: #4065

 I'm going to close this as maybelater for now though, merging of two
 distinct queries or providing a way to specify the relation between
 individual top-level parameters isn't something we can easily support
 right now.

 As for the original intention of wanting to search in a metakey as well,
 you'd be far better off using something custom or something based off one
 of the search-related SQL filters.
