936221 - Link to file browsing from search results

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 938880

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, defect)

Description

[Erik Rose [:erik][:erikrose]]

When search results are displayed, we need a way to get back to browsing the tree. In my wireframe at https://wiki.mozilla.org/DXR_UI_Refresh#Search_Results, I link explicitly to the top of the tree from my "1337 results found in <tree name>" text, but I now notice that that's redundant with the linked breadcrumbs that make up each found file's name (as it currently sits on prod). We should, however, link directly to the top of the tree somehow. Currently, on prod, we don't prefix each set of breadcrumbs with a linked tree name. We should either do that or come up with a better (less visually noisy and repetitious) idea: a single linked leading slash or something.

On second thought, I rather like how the wireframe has it. It's *not* redundant. It saves repeating the tree name over and over for each search result. And people have been asking for a result count, so that line of text is going to be there eventually anyway.
