Sorry, the difficulty seems to be what "search result" means. If you search for "foo", and that term happens to be on page 3, then Google may produce page 1 as the search result. Just like at the moment, sometimes the term you search for only appears on the pages which link to the search result, not on the search result itself. Sometimes the term does not appear at all, for example if I search for "batman begins sequel" the first result is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ That page does not have the term "sequel" on it, but it is still the first search result. And if you view the cached version, the only word highlighted is "batman". Very specifically, my post above addresses the comment that Google might display one url, then take you to another. That seems unlikely. Instead, you will only see the url of the page that is the search result, which may be page 1.
