Hi Rishil! Awesome find – thank you for sharing and commenting! – I looked for quite some time last night for anybody else that has seen this. Fantastic explanation at that link you provided. I wonder if this started in the UK as a beta or alpha and it has now expanded to the US or worldwide for longer tail queries? Maybe a late alpha stage or early beta?

I was sent this link which is mirroring your findings – http://holisticsearch.co.uk/2008/12/28/the-impact-of-longer-snippets-on-seo/

Hi Eric…I was wondering if others could replicate. Thanks for the comment! I’m running through all of my ff add-ons right now to see if they could have any effect…but I doubt it. I tried several longer tail and shorter tail queries last night and on almost every longer tail query I saw 2, 3 and 4 description lines.

I still get two description lines for the very same search query. Additionally I get only approx. 4000 results while you get 32000…
