No, digiKam definitely only scans the selected albums. You have probably selected some on the tab for tags, so that images with the keyword are also scanned. Maik
You are right, I had "whole tags collection" checked. I thought that it was an AND of both search criterias. Btw that would be more logical, no ? Anyway, sorry.
Created attachment 135543 [details] selector.png Would it help to show the number of selected albums / tags in the header tab? Or does it look strange? Maik
That seems a good idea. (and may be also for the "search in" dialog of Similarity)

I think it would e more logical and practical to combine both conditions with AND. So people can search in Pictures in an Album which has the specific TAG. The existing OR-condition doesn´t makes sense zo me.
It is an AND connection. You can choose albums AND images with a specific tag. Maik
