I think this would be the best solution for this recurrent issue.

Interwiki links at special pages are already possible, for example see
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Letzte_Änderungen
(MediaWiki:Recentchangestext includes the interwiki-link-template for the
German main page, which has the advantage that the interwikis are well
selected).

A cross-project search feature is favored all the time, a quick search gave
already Bug 25278, Bug 24658, Bug 22420 and Bug 1837 (not including
duplicates).

I think providing this at the already existing interwiki portlet is the most
intuitive and simple solution, which also does not need a multi-project content
search.

So I'm "capturing" this bug and giving it a more general approach: Pass the url
parameters at special pages on to the interwiki links (when there are some).
This should be comparatively easy, there's just one ambitious thing:
localised parameter values, for example "go=Artikel", should be
internationalized or simplified to e.g. "go=1" or "fulltext=fulltext".

This feature is most needed at Special:Search, and the parameter replacement
could be hardcoded for that, but it would be even better if it worked on every
special page.
