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.
