do we want to add meta tags to our pages? or is there some other reason our pages don't return descriptions at c|net? see for instance http://www.search.com/search?q=louis+pasteur&channel=19&lq=ingmar%2B...
Yes, could we automatically make the first 25-40 words of the page contents the description? That would be groovy.
By the way, this makes getting rid of /Talk pages from ordinary search results a little more pressing. It looks pretty bad to have a /Talk page in a search result. On the other hand, it might intrigue more people--"Wow, here's an *interactive* encyclopedia!"

I think the /talk pages are a major plus: it indicates that if you don't agree with, or need further clarification on, what's there that it's discussable.
