How many meta-query fields support WordPress search at a time?

There’s no hard limit, but meta queries are very inefficient, and in my experience things start to slow down dramatically after 3 or 4, depending on what type of query they are exactly (=, LIKE etc.)

For querying based on that many fields you should consider a custom table, rather than meta. Or taxonomies where appropriate for the type of data being used.
