What features do you most use in MXR and DXR?
One feature I'd like to see in DXR is the ability to click on a header file
shown in a #include and have it be opened.

#include mozilla/ErrorResult.h

Going back to the idl is probably the best.

String search. Then identifier search. In this order, because I don't
trust the latter to recognize all identifiers. It would help to be
able to trust.

it's not 100% clear what they mean.) When it does work I would like a

This is probably rather low priority, but MXR can be loaded over https, and

This is looking awesome and I'm going to attempt to switch my mxr quick
searches over to it. A couple of immediate things that you might want to
think about:
Right now I think mxr updates from mozilla-central faster than daily. I've
used that on a number of occasions to figure out what has broken
- Easy access to hg annotate, as in mxr (could be better than mxr even, by
integrating into the existing view instead of being a separate view).
Assuming I understand you right, we've just added this last week. :-) See the
Blame link at
DXR is looking awesome these days!
I find the call graph information to be wrong some of the time, I have
never been able to tell why. See this query for example:
I love DXR for mozilla-central, and would love it if the UX branch
(https://mxr.mozilla.org/projects-central/source/ux/) was indexed there
