You do whatever want but if you’re asking me if it now works then the answer is
a big no!

Two local collections.
The combobox still presents them (and only them, not their sub-albums) as two
“albums.”
If I select one, only the root album is selected. And then the search is only
made in the root album.
If I use the context menu, I can add all the children of the selected
collections but I still can’t chose among my albums.
If the children are selected (“453 albums selected” shown), I can’t deselect
them easily: deselecting one collection only deselects the root album of that
collection (“452 albums selected” instead of the expected “255…”).

IOW, that UI is still a mess, nothing changed.
If the only way to search in a selected set of albums is to go through the
maintenance tool, then simply suppress that useless combobox.

To be frank, I’m disappointed with 5.0.0.
The entire UI has not improved.
Half the menus are not translated.
Dialogs are always too small, half the elements are hidden (I don’t have that
problem with my other Qt/KDE apps).
Hiding the menu bar (Ctrl+M or via the menu) doesn’t work: it’s the status bar
that disappear!

I had just compiled digikam 5 to test that bug, I’ll stay with Sid’s 4.14 for
now.
