The command VxOccur from the script 2606 will run grep and turn the above list into something like: filename 21: This is a context line 22: This line contains STRING 23: This is another context line filename 2 ... It will display the matches in a popup window. Then you can use the filter mode (press f) to narrow the results interactively. If you search for 'STR' you would see: filename 22: This line contains STRING In the new (unpublished) version the 'STR' in STRING would also be highlighted. You have to set g:vxoccur_grep_mode to 1 or 2 if you want to use grep (0 uses :vimgrep). For grep to display N context lines, add -CN to the range of files to search when prompted. VxOccur documentation: http://vimuiex.sourceforge.net/vimdoc/vimuiex_plugins.html#vimuiex-vxoccur The script http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2606 The preview of the next version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimuiex/files/tar/vim-7.3-226-puls-vimuiex-0.8.tar.bz2/download This implements the popuplist() function in C. Different algorithms are implemented for filtering the displayed items. They are described in help, see :h puls-matchers, or the file runtime/doc/popuplist.txt in the tar file.
