The term "snippet" refers to a summary based on the first
several words or characters appearing in a Traction article. Snippets
are used in search result views to highlight search hits in the resulting
articles.
Snippets volume can be used even when the page does not represent search
results, by selecting "Snippets" in the volume control that
appears near the top of the page in most skins.
This preference allows users to choose their preferred relative length
for snippets.
