I don't think that's possible through MQL5 website.
I've done such research myself in the past, but manually and it took ages.
Is there a way to apply filters to signals search other than the defaults? As an example, I'd like to be able to search for signals with average holding time < 12 hours or sort them by "growth per week".
Is there an API somewhere or perhaps a way to download search results as a csv or so for further processing?

Alain is right!
You can use Trading Activity between 0 and 40% (less than half a day) and you will get average holding times, less than 12 hours.
By the way using Trading activity between 0 and 20% should be close to "holding time <12 hours".
oh, that's good to know! thanks!
does anyone know how "trading activity" is calculated? I failed to find info on it in the mql5 docs

Average holding time is the percentage of time that orders were open in the total time of the signal's monitoring period.
edit:
afaiu, there could be very active scalpers with short holding times but large trading activity, or conversely inactive swing traders with long holding times but small trading activity
still, seems like a good approximation for holding time! thanks a bunch!
