What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7. GrepWin 1.5.1.341

Please provide any additional information below.
Would like to request the addition of an option to display lines of context around search result like GNU grep provides with:

Context control:
  -B, --before-context=NUM  print NUM lines of leading context
  -A, --after-context=NUM   print NUM lines of trailing context
  -C, --context=NUM         print NUM lines of output context
  -NUM                      same as --context=NUM

Use radio button to enable and text field to specify number of lines. Choice

Issue 280 relates to limited space in "Content" mode (a matter of the chosen widget?)

You can do this by adding .*\r\n.*\r\n.*r\n for multiple lines, before and after your query; a bit hacky, but handy a lot of the time.

Windows Grep implements this quite handy behavior. While displaying the results it allows to select anywhere between 1 and 5 (before and after) lines of context (uses the "preview pane" concept).

I'd propose that such settings to be placed into the recently introduced "Settings" dialog, as it's much more comfortable for most users than changing command-line parameters. Plus, it should be able to change the behavior in a given instance without affecting the other instances (I'd probably want context only for a small subset of searches, for the remaining I'd still use a single line for performance in a replace operation, for example).
