When Incremental Search (CTRL+I) moves to its target line, it often scrolls to put the line at the top or bottom of the window., hiding adjacent lines from view. Its there any way to get it to include e.g. 5 lines above and below?
As far as I know the default search function can’t be customized that way. What I would recommend is that you install the Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools. They include some really, really awesome features including a completely overhauled search system that (as far as I can tell) pulls results as close to the centre of the window as possible.

Unfortunately if you’re using an express edition of VS, this won’t help you as they don’t support extensions 🙁
