Would adding this help?

"Should" is a strong word. There's wrapper for EDE living in
lisp/cedet/ede.el already. Projectile "should" include its own wrapper
as well.

xref-find-regexp can still be useful: it'll search a user-specified
directory and present the results using the xref interface.
At the moment, xref-find-regexp offers both types of searches. To search
in an arbitrary directory, you preface it with C-u.
