I've been using DXR (at least when it has been working) since 2011. One
thing I'd like to see should be simple to implement: typing a file name
into the search bar should find that file rather than nothing.
I'd like support for file/directory name matching in general. I'm not at
all fond of how MXR implements it UI-wise, but I find myself frequently
doing things like:
* Limiting searches to a particular file type. (eg, "image" in CSS files)
* As a jump point when I know a filename (eg, "nsILogin", click search,
click the particular IDL I wanted).
* Limiting searches to a subtree (in one step), or to a directory
pattern (eg "test").
A basic "file:" keyword hint with simple wildcard globing could do most
of it well enogh, I think... "file:*.css", "file:nsILogin*", "file:/test*"
