The feature

As an Immich user, I want to save a search query as an album (which always loads the latest matches for the associated search criteria—possibly referred to as a "smart album" or "dynamic album") so that any new photos meeting the predefined filters, such as camera make and model, are automatically included. This will streamline my photo organization process without needing manual updates.

Managing large photo libraries manually can be time-consuming. While saved searches could exist independently, integrating them into albums (smart albums?) provides a natural and accessible way to organize content. For example, a drone enthusiast could create an album that continuously aggregates photos taken with a particular drone camera (query is make and model), ensuring that the album always reflects the latest matching content without manual updates.
