Details

It seems to me that the "new" DXR is pretty useless, specially compared to the old version. I wanted to find all the pieces of code that call nsPresShell::Paint, which should be a task smack in the middle of DXR's job description. So, STR: 1. Go to dxr.mozilla.org 2. Observe there is a single search box and no other UI affordances, so I typed in "nsPresShell::Paint" into it and hit enter 3. The results page shows a single result which seems completely unrelated (widget/xpwidgets/nsBaseDragService.cpp). There is now a small window on the right side as well with fields like "type" and "function". 4. Try putting "nsPresShell" as the type and "Paint" as the function. This doesn't do anything useful (the search results seem to still be basically less relevant than grep).
nrc pointed out that "nsPresShell" is really "PresShell" and "PresShell::Paint" seems to work as a search term.
