Drupal: specify the search engine description summary from back-end?

Is there any way to write in the Drupal back-end the text to display in the search engine summaries?

Currently, the beginning of my home page (usually menus...) is displayed. I would like to add a description instead.

Thanks

  • Google uses the metatag "description" when is it is available, instead of the content on the page.

    There are a few modules that will help you create them:

    nodewords and Integrated Metatags

    Are the most popular. Using one of these modules will most likely be easier than hiding text with css, and from what I understand google ignores hidden text at least part of the time.

    you can see this in action at our site

    Here is a google search showing the how the custom descriptions show up.
