It appears in search results with some search engines, especially if it contains the keyword searched for. (Search engines sometimes display part of the meta description tag content along with a page snippet, or just a snippet, depending on the search engine and what is searched for.) Well-written description tags that appear with search results may be better at attracting searchers to the page than snippets of text from the page.

Hello! Let's review meta tags. (W 3schools, 2019 )   Definition and Usage "The  <meta>  tag defines metadata about an HTML document. Metadata is data (information) about data. <meta>  tags always go inside the <head> element, and are typically used to specify character set, page description, keywords, author of the document, and viewport settings.

Hi! Today's blog is dedicated invention of WWW and E-commerce. Early 90’s:  The World Wide Web Arrives    " In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau published a proposal to build a “Hypertext project” called “World Wide Web.” The inspiration for this project was modeled after the Dynatex SGML reader licensed by CERN.   That same year, Berners-Lee created the first web server and wrote the first web browser. Shortly thereafter, he went on to debut the web on August 6, 1991 as a publicly-available service on the Internet. When Berners-Lee decided he would take on the task of marrying hypertext to the Internet, the process led him to develop URL, HTML and HTTP.   In 1991, the National Science Foundation lifted its restrictions on commercial use of the NET, causing online shopping to grow exponentially. In September 1995, the NSF began charging a fee for registering domain names. The number of domain names quickly grew to two million by 1...
