How so? AFAICS, it's the exact same kind of output, except that it gets
truncated. And it's (obviously?) better to see the context of the pattern
you are searching for, instead of the first characters of the lines on
which the pattern is found, in which the pattern might not be present.

Indeed, if one-long-line has many matches inside, you'll get them all,
which IMO makes perfect sense.
Note that this does not happen when all matches are inside the boundaries.
For example, if your search for '.{0,100}b.{0,100}' on "aaaabbbbcccc", you
get a single match; if you search for '.{0,1}b.{0,1}' on that same string
you get two matches.
