I've long used glimpse + an emacs macro for searching the sources.
LXR seems to add little to the glimpse engine except for an unreliable
gloss on what the references are --- for entertainment try searching
on a common local variable name, eg
http://www.joeconway.com/lxr.pgsql/ident?i=relname
(I think I'd better look for myself instead of trust this).
Another problem is that actually examining each reference is ungodly
painful in LXR --- I don't even see *how* to visit multiple references
in a single file, and you certainly can't visit a bunch of 'em without
lots of mousing-around. Never mind editing each one once you've found
it.
Think I'll stick with Control-x backquote ...
