Hi Romaine,
Yes, the search box on the
wikipedia.org portal only shows results for the
language that you're currently searching in (which can be changed by
selecting a new language in the dropdown located in the search box). We
don't yet have the ability to search in all wikis at once but we'd like to
have that capability in the future.
Actually we do have the ability to search all wikis at once, it's just
really
really slow because of how Nik and I chose to setup the indexes ~4 years
ago. This could be fixed though :)
