how would you notice in the metrics? I type a search term 
and hope that google returns something useful. If it does 
not I will refine with some language specific word(s) or some
google operator to select language or territory.
Things like Wikipedia or Amazon search are so useless in my
situation that I won't even try them.
Most of the time I use hackers-keyboard in a latin variant 
which is sufficient for most languages that I need. 
I have never used accept-language or similar, partly for 
privacy reasons but mostly because I have never seen 
a situation where it would be of any use.

Also, aren't you metering avoidance behavior? The google app
lets me specify a number of languages and whatever language
I speak into the micro I have something like a 60% chance to
get correct recognition.
So I would imagine that for many people that is much better
than what Firefox does currently.

Excellent idea.. but why not show the search engine name in 
addition or instead of the icons? On my device the icons are 
placed so sparsely that at least 3 letters would easily fit
there.
