We have Google Custom Site Search implemented on our company website. When I'm looking at the results page, I noticed that the Meta Description is not being displayed. It just seems to be reading the links titles from our drop down menu and using this as a description.

When I search for the same page via google.com, the meta description is pulled in correctly.

Any thoughts why this might be happening.

I can't see anything in the Custom Site Search settings.
