Just about every time I search, I have to scroll down a little to see the next few lines to give a bit of context (when reading changelogs, html source or whatever). The requested feature is exactly what the 'scrolloff' setting in vim is: Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the cursor. This will make some context visible around where you are working. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Search for something outside the visible area 2. Notice that it's at the bottom of the screen without seeing anything below it 3. Wish that you see a few more lines below it
