Picasa Web Albums and Google Desktop
One of the features of Google Desktop search is to allow you to search through web pages that you have previously visited.
Unfortunately with pages from Picasa Web Albums, the snippet that shows up in the Google Desktop search results is often far from useful, stating:
Picasa Web Albums
Picasa Web Albums You are using a browser that is not fully supported. Some features may not work too well, but you are welcome to have a look ..
The contents of the snippet depends on the search string - in this case I was searching for the word "picasa" (so as to fetch all the pages I had viewed at Picasa Web Albums recently) which does appear in the snippet, but then it is followed by text that does not show on the page.
Picasa Web Albums are AJAX type pages, and this text does appear in the HTML of the page, but is normally hidden from view unless you are using an unsupported browser. It's a difficult fix for Desktop Search to apply, but they should really make the snippet reflect what was visible to the user, not what the internal HTML of the page contains.
