This seems like google's fault. Example search for setUpClass python: https://www.google.com/search?q=python+unittest&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb#channel=fflb&q=python+setUpClass&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official https://www.google.com/search?q=python+unittest&ie=utf-8&oe=... First link is correct, and so is the snippet in the search result. When you click on the link, it should have taken you to: https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#setupclass-and-teardownclass https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#setupclass-a... which is the anchor / title closest to the snippet found, as opposed to the main page: https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html

This is a bit OT, but I started finding Google search results a lot less useful after they shortened the amount of context they quoted. I think that even in an example like the one you cite, this has some relevance. When the quoted context was larger, it seemed to me easier to find it -- scanning visually -- within the target page. Of course, there is also the matter that with Google's loosened matching and/or increased page dynamism, results these days pertain less often to what I'm interested in. Not all that infrequently, I'll click through on a promising result, to find little or no hint of the context that Google quoted. TL;DR: More anecdotal grumbling about the decreasing usefulness of Google search results.
