# Snippet

A snippet is a block of information about a webpage that is shown in search results. The snippet includes the title and description of the page, and may also contain additional information about the site.

From snippets, users can get a general idea of the page or the information they need without visiting the site. The snippet may consist of the following elements:

- [Favicon](https://yandex.com/support/search/en/search-results/favicon.md).
- [Title and description](https://yandex.com/support/search/en/search-results/doc-title.md).
- Website address. In some cases, the snippet for internal pages shows the address as [breadcrumbs](https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/search-results/navigation.html#navigation).
- Publication date.

The snippet can be displayed as a [rich answer](https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/search-results/rich-snippet.html). That's an extended snippet with additional information about a site or organization. It can contain sitelinks, the organization's address, and other details.


Here is an example of a home page snippet:
