How to Remove a Snippet
A snippet is the text that appears under the link to a website on the Google search results page. It usually gives information about the page the link takes you to, such as a synopsis or preview. If you would rather not have a snippet when your page comes up in the search results, remove it by adding a line to the HTML document.

If you do not have an HTML editor, you can use a plain text editor such as the Notepad application in Windows.
Do not use Word or Wordpad to edit the HTML document. These editors leave hidden information in the document that can prevent the page from displaying correctly.
