Metadata Search is not taking the format for querytext:  Example 8 from the Rest API for Content Management guide: http://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/content-cloud/rest-api-content-management/op-documents-api-1.1-folders-search-items-get.html

The example below searches for folders or files with a specific metadata value in the user's home directory. This search includes the entire directory tree under the home directory and shared folders. The metadata value must be delimited by an encoded value of ` represented by %60.
