"Show all lines in the current buffer containing a match for REGEXP.
If a match spreads across multiple lines, all those lines are shown.
+Each match is extended to include complete lines. Only non-overlapping
+matches are considered. (Note that extending matches to complete
+lines could cause some of the matches to overlap; if so, they will not
+be shown as separate matches.)
+
Each line is displayed with NLINES lines before and after, or -NLINES
before if NLINES is negative.
NLINES defaults to `list-matching-lines-default-context-lines'.
