Hi,

I just tested this with digikam-5.9.0 AppImage on Linux. It is a bit
complicated, but it works:

1. open search sidebar
2. click "Advanced Search..."
3. reset the current search with the reset button on the lower left
4. open search criterion "File, Album, Tags"
5. write "7070" in the input box for "File Name"
6. on the lower left, click button "Add Search Group"
7. select shure, both search groups are connected via "OR" (not "AND", "OR"
   seems to be default)
8. open search criterion "File, Album, Tags" in the new search group (below the
   first one)
9. write "1388" in the input box for "File Name" of this new search group
10. click once again the button "Add Search Group" in the lower left
11. open search criterion "File, Album, Tags" in the new search group (below the
    first one)
12. write "2263" in the input box for "File Name" of this new search group
13. start the search with "OK" button on the lower right

Hope, that helps.
