Sylvain,

I had the same problem as you had. But I only had one collection. I first
thought it was a bug in my database. But my database was new.
After some time of useless debugging, I found out, that I first have to
double-click on the collection. After doing that, all sub albums of this
collection were shown. So far, so good. I added another collection. In fuzzy
search, the first collection (and its sub-albums were shown). Additionally, I
now had the second collection (but no sub-albums for it). After double-klicking
on it, the sub-albums showed up.

Can you please test this with the current state of digiKam (Gilles wrote the
location)? I tested this with the current state from git.

Perhaps the missing functionality was just not shown prominently.

Cheers,
Mario
