do you know how google recovers the description of a website in their search results? is it the meta-description? the first paragraph?

A:
Their algorithms aren't officially released to the public, but if there is a meta description tag, it takes that. Otherwise it generally depends on where the keywords lie within the body of the webpage. If someone is searching for "foo", a paragraph with foo in it will likely appear, with foo highlighted in bold.

I have read recently that google has started executing/interpreting sites javascript additionally now which I am interested in finding out what they actually do with the results of such.

Well, it would help for ajax content, plus I'm sure it's useful for a tonne of other stuff like load time and what the site is actually doing to users.
