String search. Then identifier search. In this order, because I don't
trust the latter to recognize all identifiers. It would help to be
able to trust.

Main reason I've stayed away from DXR is that DXR made scrolling
weird. It seems now better than I recalled, but after landing on a
page, it still seems to require a click before the page down key
works, which is bad.

I could really use links to CVS blame. mxr-test used to have these.
Possibly, having a DXR that browses a git repository that contains the
CVS history from before hg rev 0 in addition to the hg history could
be even better than having links to CVS blame. Dunno. Surprisingly
often, I need to figure out why some code was introduced in 1998-2001.
