Google has begun to show longer snippets for some search queries that include more than three words. According to a post on the Official Google Blog, the longer snippets are being introduced to “provide more information and show more of the words you typed in the context of the page.” The longer snippets span three or four lines. Google also announced that they have deployed new technology that “can better understand associations and concepts” related to search queries. Google is using the new technology to show more related searches and show related for longer queries.
