Hi, Joel,

That way never works for me, so I don't use it.
My experience was that it took some getting used to, to effectively use 
opengrok, and I'm sure there's still things I could learn.  Make sure 
you read the help page http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/help.jsp.

For what you are wanting to do to since you know a specific symbol name, 
I would recommend, for example, typing SC_VALIDDLG_DATA_BETWEEN into the 
Symbol search box if you want to see places it is used.  (The Definition 
and Symbol search boxes are case sensitive.)  If you want to limit the 
directories that are searched, for example sc, type in sc in the File 
Path search box in conjunction with the above.  (core/sc more 
specifically, but just sc seems to work.)
