Ad #0: I see three options
a) disable filter bar if no text is displayed below the images
b) always include the filter for filenames 
c) have a configuration menu to select the fields used for filtering

(Code-wise b) would be the simplest)

Ad c#1:
1.) Currently all  the new filters (tex filter, file type, and rating)
survive saving (note that the side-bar tags filter does not, which is
inconsistent).
Would some clear visual indication, that some type of filtering is active,
help? (Maybe it is needed/good anyway?) However, I don't know what
a good visual indication would be.
2.) This is also mentioned in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133191#c11
(all important points, which we should not forget, BTW),
and in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133191#c15
Mikolaj suggested to use instead of the text "Search" the 
"kitchen utensil - funnel -
used everywhere where KDE filters things. There are already loupes in
digiKam interface and another could create confusion."
Personally, I like the icon variant a bit more than the "Search" text.
This and the deleted filter should be implemented IMO.
Once there is consensus about what to do, I can have a look at it.
