More context for search results? [message #900414]

How can I display multiple lines of context around search results, like doing the -C option to `grep` gives me?

i.e. when I use Ctrl-Shift-G to look up the references to a method, then click the Expand All button, it only shows me the matching lines -- I want to see the line *before* the matching line, too.

This is currently not possible. There's already an enhancement request
for this in bugzilla.

I tried to find the bugzilla request you mentioned, using search terms like "search context" and "search grep", without success. Can you suggest some better terms I might use to find it? I'd like to see what its current status is.

Sorry, actually, the existing request is for showing the line (and line
number), but not additional/multiple lines. Doing this in the current
Search view would be quite tricky and not something we would invest time
to work on.
