I confirm the recursive selection is present and functional. My previous failure to access it was caused by UI freezes and severe input lag stemming from my recent Ubuntu Studio 26.04 LTS upgrade, which prevented the menu from rendering. Regarding the logic for "ignored" faces: while I understand the current behavior was implemented to satisfy specific user reports, this design choice effectively breaks the workflow for users who need to batch-process and isolate strictly faceless images. If reverting the behavior is not an option due to that user base, the Advanced Search module requires a definitive method to bypass it. I strongly suggest the implementation of an additional search condition or a strictness toggle—such as "Strictly no face regions (exclude Ignored/Unknown states)"—to restore the capability of absolute exclusion without compromising the workflow of the users who requested the current logic.

There, you have the option to automatically select sub-albums as well. The inclusion of ignored faces in the list is a feature requested by users. Initially, this was not the case; however, we received bug reports arguing that ignored faces should be included as well.

--- Comment #4 from phenrypereira ---
I am processing a large repository of over 10,000 photos to isolate and
batch-delete images without human subjects. When utilizing the Advanced Search
tool to filter out photos with faces, the database query fails to exclude
regions marked as "Ignored". Furthermore, the module lacks recursive selection
for directories, severely hindering batch operations across multiple
sub-albums.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Execute the face detection algorithm on a designated photo collection.
Manually assign the "Ignored" state to specific detected face regions.
Open the Advanced Search module.
Under "Face regions", apply the condition: "Return items without face
regions".
Execute the search query.
OBSERVED RESULT
The search engine returns images that contain established face regions if those
regions are classified as "Ignored" (and occasionally "Unknown"). The database
query erroneously treats the "Ignored" state as an absolute absence of a face
region.
EXPECTED RESULT
The parameter "Return items without face regions" must strictly exclude any
file containing a defined face region boundary, regardless of its
classification metadata ("Ignored", "Unknown", or "Confirmed").
