Feature request: configuring search results view

When I click on F3 function key to browse the contents of a 
file, (my tmda logs for example,) if I do F6 or F7 to search 
for something, the found pattern is displayed at the top of 
the file.

I actually want to see about 4 lines previous to what I'm 
looking for.

Could we have some way to configure mc to display it's 
search results n lines down from the top of the screen 
please?

That would be a great help.

Thanks for all the effort in developing mc.

It's the first thing I install when doing a fresh Linux 
installation.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
