What's the difference between More and Less Descriptions

      In the new UI there is a "More" and "Less" view of the description. The less view seems to be the same as what is shown in the Search. The More view seems to be a longer version if one is available. What is the difference between them and are they populated in different ways?

      One of the reasons I ask is that the Motorcycle domain's search description does not begin with the beginning of the More description. It pulls from hyperlinks further down the page. I've previously brought this up (i.e., complained) several times in several discussions and no one has ever responded. Now I see that the Less view has that strange description while the More view looks like it should. Maybe these differences will help narrow down why this error is occurring so that recommendations can be made for fixing it. Thank you.

        Ed, that looks like a bug. The less description is generally supposed to be only the first 1000 or so characters, but otherwise identical to the more description -- it was a known issue that the less wasn't showing rich HTML formatting, but it seems to have manifested itself strangely on your domain.
