The described behaviour is, indeed, what is currently implemented with MXR and, as the policy is to be a replacement for MXR, it makes sense to have that in DXR.

I'm putting this bug as P3.

I think the fix for this is pretty simple, we should prefill a path:/current/dir into the search box. I don't think it's a p1 at this point.

We're going to do something like this but not quite. See bug 938875.
