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.
I just want to say that when me and Eduard are talking about "advanced search" we meant the ability to be able to filter and refine the search results, doesn't matter if it's pre or post query, etc. We didn't insist on advanced search solution. Faceted navigation as a search pattern is great to be used. So we may have missed-used the domain terms.
Am planning to implement a advanced search, will create few mockups and share with you. I was going through the search improvements at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/Search+Interface. But I didnt find any for advanced search with left bar for faceted navigation. e.g. http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues?q=has%3A+%7BDue+Date%7D+sort+by%3A+%7BD...
Thanks, Caty
