I'd like support for file/directory name matching in general. I'm not at all fond of how MXR implements it UI-wise, but I find myself frequently doing things like:

* Limiting searches to a particular file type. (eg, "image" in CSS files)

* As a jump point when I know a filename (eg, "nsILogin", click search, click the particular IDL I wanted).

* Limiting searches to a subtree (in one step), or to a directory pattern (eg "test").

A basic "file:" keyword hint with simple wildcard globing could do most of it well enogh, I think... "file:*.css", "file:nsILogin*", "file:/test*"
