--- Comment #5 from [email protected] ---
(Note: Understand that I am a rather new user of digiKam, so I may be 
making mistakes in its use.)

Your comment and further work has led me to interesting discoveries. 
Among other cameras, I have many RAW images from (1) an older Canon EOS 
M5 camera (.CR2 extension) and (2) a newer Canon EOS M6 Mark II (.CR3 
extension). It turns out digiKam's Advanced Search locates the RAW 
images from (1) but not from (2).

Following your suggestion below, if I look at one of the located images 
from camera (1), it shows the following on the right side when switching 
from Properties to Metadata:

    Properties > Photograph Properties > Model: EOS M5
    Metadata > Exif > Image Information > Model     Canon EOS M5

An unfound image from camera (2) shows the following:

    Properties > Photograph Properties > Model: EOS M6 Mark II
    Metadata > Exif > Image Information > Model     Canon EOS M6 Mark II

I was unaware that digiKam makes a difference between its photographic 
properties and its EXIF data. Still, different results from Advanced 
Search occur with these two cameras.

I should add that after reading your Comment #2, I selected Tools > 
Maintenance... > Sync Metadata and Database, then selected Sync 
Direction: From image metadata to database, then selected OK. After 
waiting quite a while for the process to complete over my ~45K images in 
the database, I saw no difference in behavior of Advanced Search. RAW 
image files taken with an EOS 7D, 80D, and M6 Mark II were not found.
