You are right.
Actually on Windows there's no indication of the collapsed panel until
I go there with my mouse. I see no handle.
Now I expanded a little bit.

I understand. Maybe we could have a global checkbox or a tree view
with checks like this:

I guess that the label filtering of Adobe Lightroom works in a different way.
By default you see all your photo.
When you open the tag search, nothing is selected but all your photos
are still there.
Once you click on one of them, filtering become effective.
Strange but it solves that problem, moreover they have tags hierarchy.

Please believe me, I restarted the application to record it and now it
works :) I feel an idiot when I write this.

I see that you used OR for multi tag selection. I would expect AND
between them. Really I do not know.

When I select "wreck" AND "photo" what I would expect?
Only the dives when I was filming a wreck or all the dives on a wreck
and all the dives I shot photos?
What do you think?

Ok, my first doubt was exactly this. That a different UX design could
force a total rewrite.
Good work indeed.

Attached my old mockup and the Lightroom search:
