You can not change the snippet size. The appliance dynamically
generates the snippet based on the search term. However you can
display a meta tag value as a snippet result. It requires some work.

Question:

How to display metadata in the search results?

Answer:
Applies to: GSA 4.x/5.x, Mini 4.x/5.x

Displaying meta data in the search result pages involves two steps:

1. Add "getfields" parameter in the search string, e.g.,
&getfields=MYMETA. For details about this parameter, refer to the
"search protocol reference" on the support site:

Search Protocol Reference

2. Set the value of "show_meta_tags" to "1":
* In the admin console, go to Serving > Front Ends;
* click "edit" to edit the front end of your choice;
* Click "Edit underlying XSLT code" link in the "XSLT Stylesheet
Editor" box;
* set the value of show_meta_tags to 1, i.e., <xsl:variable
name="show_meta_tags">1</xsl:variable>;
* click on "Save XSLT Code" button.

The modified XSLT stylesheet won't take effect until after 15 minutes.
To see the result immediately, you can add &proxyreload=1 at the end
of the search string and resubmit the search.

Note that changes to the underlying XSLT will prevent further use of
the Page Layout Helper for that particular frontend.
