I started trying to contribute small changes to DXR, but I didn't like the
As a DXR contributor, I'd like to point out it hasn't been sitting still
recently either: xpidl (find definitions/jump to headers) and JavaScript
(ported from Searchfox, in fact) support have landed and are just waiting a
config change in the production builder to be live. C++ search, particular
Searchfox is the best thing ever. It made a huge difference in the speed
and ease with which I can query the codebase and get the answers I need.
My understanding is that Bill achieved a lot of the performance and
correctness wins over dxr with different architectural choices, and by
using Rust. I

Indeed. So much better than what dxr/mxr gives, and finally I migh
Agreed. As long as the tool helps and run faster, it is worth a try.
I’m also hoping that most of functions only on DXR can be ported to Searchfox
soon,
for exp, “Jump to file”, “Jump to bugzilla”.
For syntax highlighting, just found literal string color and comment color are
switched,
