STR:

1. Search for nsIPrincipal.idl.
2. Press Enter on the search field.

This used to take you to the file itself, but it doesn't work any more on allizom.
For some reason the direct searcher for paths is only triggered when a line number is specified. So you can search nsIPrincipal.idl:1 and be taken to the first line of the file directly. Relevant section: http://git.io/vIBEN

That's a regression though.  The original idea was that if someone types in the full name to a file, they are probably looking to see that file, so we should do that by default.  The "fullfilename:1" syntax is entirely undiscoverable for the user.  :-)
Yep, we should fix this. Thanks for noticing it, Ehsan!
