* Clicking on macros seem to lead to some results, but definitely not the one I'd expect - the definition of the macro.

Search
-------
* Let us structurally query stuff that gets #ifdef'd out on x86, like ARM stuff.
* Limiting searches to a particular file type. (eg, "image" in CSS files)
* Search for substrings or patterns of file paths. Even just typing a filename (or path segment?) without a file: specifier should find files by name or path.
* Stop differentiating between macros, functions, consts, etc.: just find me an *anything* called "fred". People coming up the booth were confused that they had to know the kind of the target.
IU/UX
------
* More obviously indicate that the search results are out of date. Dim them?
* Show context around results (after a click? by saying "context:3[lines]" in the query?)
* Be able to refer to specific revisions of code somehow, so links don't rot.
* Count of search results, so we can use DXR to gather continuous metrics
* Direct results: some love them, some hate them (because they just want to see the file pathname (don't we show that with the file? Is it bothersome because it's slow to load?)
* 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: <http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=%2Bcallers%3A%22mozilla%3A%3AAudioNodeStream%3A%3ASetDoubleParameter%28uint32_t%2C+double%29%22>. Do you have any idea what the source of these problems is, and if yes, is that on track to get fixed?
Results
--------
* Better ranking: if you type an exact identifier name, put the definition at the top.
Blame
------
* Be able to navigate blame history better, stepping back and back in time until we find the change we were looking for.
