Possibly the right place to start is to guess the user's language for their interface setting.

(In reply to comment #1)

Possibly the right place to start is to guess the user's language for their
interface setting.

+1 That can be easily changes with [[mw:ULS]] now; if it's counterintuitive we can add a note about it on Special:Search for those wikis, but it's better than not being able to choose search language.

As for documents, note that at least Translate sets the [[mw:Page content language]].
