when I just try to search for "language:en stieglitz" (without the
quotes) I get search results only in English (first Alfred Stieglitz, next
Victoria Stieglitz, followed by more of Alfred). The same happens when I
prefix my search with language:fr instead, all French search results. It
almost seems to me like this is an undocumented feature, at least it is
not mentioned at
