I have never used lightroom hence the question.
Which exact search features are missing from darktable? I find collect
images module more than sufficient where you can manipulate various
and/or conditions to search/filter images.
With image data in proper SQL database, searching images should be
relatively easy to handle and darktable already allows many of the
searches. If there is data in database, it can be queried, if it's not
there, we can log feature requests for better cataloging.
Personally, I believe collect images module is least noticed module and
many don't see other features like tag hierarchy etc available. I myself
was unaware and started writing my own code until someone kindly pointed
existing features and told me how to use it.
I did face a challenge of collecting the images in portrait mode, but
quick look at database and help from others got me on the track. I
believe data is there, but priorities are on improving images, not on
searching images which can be achieved by external tools. Only gotcha
here is may be darktable needs to be publish official schema or API so
that other tools can use it.

Hi Kofa,
I am using windows 10 with V3.4 and do not see any of the
mentioned presets in lighttable. It is not a big issue to me but one
of the advantages of Lightroom is its ability to search images based
on text or extensive metadata including camera, lens, ISO etc. The
editing capabilities of Darktable is more important to me than the
digital asset management tools, but I guess it would be nice to have
both.

You may not need to tag them. Try this:
On the lighttable, using the 'collect images' module => 'hamburger'
(presets) menu -> portrait, landscape, or square. Those are just
predefined filters using metadata -> capture details -> aspect ratio
(less than, greater than or equal to 1). I'm on the master branch, but
I think this is available with 3.4 as well.
