What I would propose, besides advanced filters, is:
- by default show results only from current user language;
- allow to search and display for multiple/all languages only if you are
using the advanced search; (display the results with the language mark [en,
de, etc.], sort by relevance);
- suggest results from other languages versions (like sergiu mentioned) if
there are no results for the current language + hint for advanced search.
(This case may be when the page I look for haven't been yet translated and
at least I should see that the wiki contains results on my query, but not
what I needed).
I am not 100% sure this will be always wanted to use only "your" language (it is
non-defined if just looking that the text quite often, wrong in a internet café in a
country just a few kilometers away, ...).
I, personnaly, would feel bad to enter en English sentence and find no matches because my
environment is currently in French.
As a result, I feel the right thing is to consider all languages of your environment (the
xwiki language, the browser 1st, second, ... languages). But again, this might be a
business decision.
Advanced search masks are generally very very very badly considered. They're heavy,
hard to read and most commonly unused.
Facets, however, are the best way to enter the advanced search without the user seeing
it.
