I would like better documentation about how to use dxr. I know it's pretty 
powerful, but it's always just easier for me to use mxr than to figure out the 
right query. One that would be really useful to me is to find all references to 
a field of a given class. If dxr's main search page had some examples of how to 
do searches like this one, that would be great. Someone once showed me a way to 
get it to pop up a little window with options like "function:" and "type:" 
(although I seem to have lost that dialog and I can't figure out how to get it 
back). However, there's no explanation of what these operators do and I can't 
get them to work. For example, if I search for "function:JS_SetGCZeal" I get no 
results. Why is that?
