filters in the Kobo Shop

When I search in the Kobo Shop, recently the search results are *always* filtered by language. If I set the language settings of the shop to English, I only get English language books, if I set it to Dutch, I get Dutch language books. But to get results for *all* languages, I always have to go to filters first and then select "all" there. Which has become more of a hassle since it used to be available for a straight click at the left hand side of the screen, but now it's behind a button ("filters") that gives you a pop-up window.

Is there an easy way to set the setting for my account so the default search is *always" for "all languages"?

It will remain a hassle, since the search engine uses rather poor algorhythms. E.g. if I search for Lucinda Riley plus a word from the Dutch title of the series (a word which is *not* a homonym for any of the other language versions) I still get all kinds of other language titles plus the English one in the first results. (It seems this is because it has no way to sort the search results by "most relevant", but only by stupoid categories like "highest raed" and price &c.)
So if then I want to look for Dutch versions specifically, I have to select Dutch.

And of course it will remember this for the next search, when I don't necessarily want it, and have to remember to change it back again. It's really one of the most user unfriendly search function in a webshop (or book site) I've ever encountered.
