I haven't been able to reproduce the behavior you describe.  Evince is
following the input sources the same as any other gnome app.  Here's
what I've tried:

1. Go into the gnome settings menu for region & language.
2. Add a new input source.  I picked French, so now I have two sources,
   English (US) and French.
3. An input source selecter widget appears in the gnome top bar showing
   "en" as my current input source.
4. I test this in gedit.
    a. Type a few q's in gedit and see q's are entered.
    b. Use the widget to switch to "fr" input source.
    c. Type a few q's in gedit and see a's are entered.
    d. Use widget to switch back to "en".
5. Test this in evince.  Open some random PDF.  Push the search button
   so I can see what I'm typing.
    a. Same as above, type q's and see q's are entered in the search
       bar.
    b. Use the widget to switch to "fr".
    c. Type some q's and see a's are entered in the search bar.
