I just started noticing this tonight (1/13/08)…how long has this been going on? What determines when a result will have 1 or 4 description lines? Thoughts? Please see this screen shot…

I double checked my ff add-ons and none appear to affect this. I am using the groowe search bar.

Thoughts?

Rishil posted a link that dates back to December 28, 2008 in the comments on this post. The results displayed were from Google UK...so it appears this is semi-worldwide at the moment?Credit for this find goes to Rishil: http://holisticsearch.co.uk/2008/12/28/the-impact-of-longer-snippets-on-seo/Any earlier detection of longer descriptions or snippets in Google’s serps?

It’s interesting this kind of description. Anyone knows any relation of it and SearchWiki?I’ve noticed too that the description is a part of meta description and content. Anyone saw it?
