Using search in Dolphin

When searching in Dolphin, I can basically only choose between "Here" and "Everywhere" for the scope. The problem: If I want to search everywhere on my system disk, like pointing to "/" and setting the scope to "Here", or if I set the scope to "Everywhere", in both cases it also searches through all my network shares which are mounted ... slow, useless and stupid (and not what I want!). How can I exclude them?

Flexible versioning

I know Digikam has some very basic type of versioning as it can show the history of a file (still not sure how it defines that ...).

But what I have in my old (Windows) DAM is true user-defined versioning. Meaning I can define that for example filename.jpg is a version of filename.NEF globally. I.e. any jpg with the same name as a NEF file is automatically set as a version of the NEF file. I can define more complex rules too. And I can define buddy files with similar rules. Buddy files are not necessarily visible in the DB but are linked to their master files. Like xmp files or .rrdata files for users of RapidRAW. Those buddy files are then (again automatically) treated together with the master files when the master is renamed, moved or copied. It's a super useful feature I don't want to miss anymore.

So, is there a similar thing in Digikam? I can't find anything in the documentation.
