Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for providing a domain-aware snippet for a search result. A uniform resource locator (URL) is identified for a search result obtained in response to a search query, and it is determined that the URL corresponds to a single domain that has a plurality of web pages that are generated using a template that is common to each of the web pages in the domain. The template comprises a hypertext markup language (HTML) layout pattern that includes multiple sections shared by the web pages. A ranking value is assigned to the multiple sections and is used to identify a first section of the template that is relevant to the search query. A snippet is provided to a user for the search result; the snippet includes at least a portion of text from the first section.
