Once added, you can find more information about the IP range by searching for it.

Along with the range start and range end, you’ll see the owner, autonomous system, country, and any active IP addresses in the range.

If you want more information, clicking into the range brings up a panel showing the owner, country, and number of IPs in the range, as well as any detected IP addresses or domains.
