@petey200 ,
The Search Results panel is designed to only show one line per match (even if you do a search expression that matches text that crosses over lines, it will only show the first line of the match). There isn’t a way to increase context.
Support for multiple keywords would be an additional plus.
The existing regular expression (regex) feature already handles that.
Find What = \b(George|Gracie|whale)\b
the \b matches “word boundary” so it would match George but not Georgene, etc.
the (...) makes a group - without this logical group, the \b would have to be repeated at the beginning and end of each word, like \bGeorge\b|\bGracie\b|\bwhale\b
the | means “OR”
translated to english, this Find What means “match a boundary, then George or Gracie or whale, then another boundary”
Match Case = off
Search Mode = Regular Expression
. matches newline = off

From our FAQ section, the Generic Regular Expression formula FAQ links to a post Generic Regex: Logic Gates for Regular Expressions which explains how to match lines with AND, OR, Exclusive-OR, and similar logical constructs.
