Any enhancements would be up to Robert; the routine is his. But the requested feature is,
effectively, already there. Although the default context for search results is 67 characters, you
can specify a wider context on the CMline, e.g.:
CITE /200,[target_string]
To change the default context, edit variable Chars_of_Context in XYWWWEB.REG. Blank lines are
automatically inserted if the context is longer than a full line. For details, read the help
screen:
HELP CITE.
