What does "show source" under "event actions" do?

[xinde]

Does it show the raw data Splunk indexed for this specific event? or the entire sources?
In my search, when I click "show source" under "event actions", it seems to only show a fraction of the raw data and I am not sure what is the time period of it.

It gives you surrounding events of the selected event from that source and host.
