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.
