Can Immich do search/filter based on both map (geographic area) and time parameters? Through add-ons or search text syntax?

Example 1. Show all photos from this area (draw rectangle on map) from times 22:00 to 00:00.

Example 2. Show all photos from this area (draw rectangle on map) from years 2020 to 2024 in months march to may AND september to october from times 22:00 to 00:00.

In the Immich demo the map view lets me zoom and shows bubbles with the number of photos from an area but I see no way to select an area or bubble to explore just those photos in an album or temporary view. The map view does have a time range option (last N days or date range yyyy-mm-dd to yyyy-mm-dd), but no time of day range or months range.

Search view has advanced options with place dropdowns (country state city) but no map area rectangle option. Also has date range (yyyy-mm-dd to yyyy-mm-dd), but no time of day range or non-contiguous time criteria.

I think a photo viewer could implement the exemplified kind of searches in a slim way through a map view (user draws a rectangle) with sliders (year range, months range, time of day range) that ideally let the user set multiple ranges on one slider (march to may AND september to october). Ideally such combo criteria could then also be bookmarked and searched and the filtered in items could be batch operated on (tag, rename, delete).

I want to be able to do all these same kinds of searches too. Especially layering on searches, like what you said about how the search ideally could be bookmarked and searched on. Like any search result could become a smart album maybe. I’d love to be able to search something like [all photos in the box I drew on the map] and then out of those results [photos in 2021 and 2023] and then out of those results [photos of person x] and out of those results a clip search like [people walking on the beach]. It would also be great to remove photos from the search like [photos in this geographical area] but not [clip search for “yellow lab”].
