How about having the search box placeholder text specify the lang and when the search box
is empty, since there's no need for a clear button, have instead a small lang switcher
button?

Hi,
I am raising this issue every once in a while...
Is there any plan to make the app less monolingual? See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34100
Currently, the app shows content only in one language. It's possible to switch to
another language according to the interlanguage link, but the searching will always be in
one language until changed in the preference.
Back when the feedback mailing list was active this was one of the most requrested
features, and I personally strongly support it.
At the very least, searching must work in the language of the currently displayed
article, because seeing content in one language and searching in another is badly
confusing.
Better yet, there should be a way to define several "favorite languages" in
which the user is interested, and to show search results from all of them.
Any chance of that happening soon?
