Nicofo,

After working a while now with all the geolocation tools in digiKam (AppImage
5.5.0) in order to write the doc about it I have an idea what your problem
might be.
In the Map View of the Left Sidebar which is the geolocation search tool the
Select Images button works only on those images which are in your current
region selection, indicated by a rectangle on the map. Here it will just toggle
the selection of the pic or group of pics you are clicking on in the Image Area
(central part of the digiKam window). This can be helpful to fine tune your
selection before carrying out operations from the Right Sidebar or the menus.
The button has no effect on pics outside of the rectangle which is intended
behaviour. Wouldn't make sense anyway since they are not displayed in the Image
Area.
The Filter-images button you mention in Comment 2 filters the result of you
region selection which means that only the  one pic or group of pics you are
clicking on is displayed in the Image Area. This is particular useful if the
map is just showing markers or if the thumbnails are too small to clearly
identify images.
I hope this explanation can solve your problem. If you confirm we could close
this bug. The handbook will be updated with the next release. Remains only the
problem with the shape of the mouse pointer wich is subject of
