Reverse search and replace

In Vim, you can do a search and replace with :%s, with a confirm option. But if the text you want to replace is the last line in the current window, then you can't really see any context for it. Is there a way to do a reverse search and replace? Or when a match is found, can you have vim show a few lines below it?

Thanks,
Ven
