DXR is Mozilla's code search and navigation tool, aimed at making sense of large projects like Firefox. It supports full-text and regex searches as well as structural queries like "Find all the callers of this function." Behind the scenes, it uses trigram indices, the re2 library, and structural data collected by a custom compiler plugin.
Try it here: http://dxr.mozilla.org/
