It's not exactly what you are looking for (and I may have misunderstood what you are looking for, anyway), but you can set a key press to filter the whole source in the current editor pane on the item you have selected, then move the cursor to the line you might be interested in and press CTRL-W to open all the filters to view the lines above and below the selected line.
To set the filter key press, go to the Window|Preferences menu item, expand the "LPEX Editor" item in the left-pane, select the "User Key Actions" item. Drop the "Action" list and find "Filter Selection", then type c-s-f into the "Key" box (that is "c", "hyphen", "s", "hyphen" and "f", which translates to CTRL-SHIFT-F. You can select whatever key press you find fits best.) Click the SET button, then the APPLY and finally the OK button. Now when you select some text, press CTRL-SHIFT-F, the source will filter, and pressing CTRL-W will un-filter the text leaving the line the cursor was on in the centre of the screen.

Is there a way to expand a lpex editor filter so that it displays X number of lines above and below the search results.
What I'm after is instead off clicking on the + sign to display the lines below the result, is an option to display x lines above and below the search results.
This will enable me to quickly determine how the search result is being used.
Cheers
