Details

In trying to find all uses of a given JS variable in a set of files DXR is outputting the entire contents of matched files. See the URL for the example.
"OS" isn't long enough to do an accelerated search on; we need at least 3 chars, because we index in trigrams. But we should at least be showing a warning bubble or something. On a related note, I can't get regexp:"[ '\"]OS[ '\"]" to work as a substitute. It complains it can't get a run of 3 chars out of it, but it should be able to.

DXR is no longer available. Searchfox is now replacing it.
See meta bug 1669906 & https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.dev.platform/c/jDRjrq3l-CY for more details.
