Album filtering is done on the bottom of treeview by the search text
field. But it's only a treeview filter on album names.

There are no tags, rating, labels assignable yet to physical albums,
but you can use virtual albums (tags) which are linked to physical
albums.

In your workflow, I recommend to use labels (as rating, picks, or
colors) directly on items. With the labels tree-view on the left side
you have a direct view to the contents. You can also process advanced
searches over tags or labels.

Note that technically, labels are tags in the database, with special properties.

I recommend to take a look the DAM section of the online documentation
for details, to know how to organize your workflow with digiKam :
