You can't. <wink>
All you can do is write the best meta description you can and hope it suits the person's search.
Google and the other search engines will display what they think best suits the user's search.

Most helpful, I found that the snippet had been taken from Dmoz which I've now changed.
Easy when you know how !

Descriptions should be page-specific.
Try to anticipate the phrases for which you expect a page to rank and to include that vocabulary in your description.

... except that every time I see the topic header I will think g### has crossed the final frontier and is wantonly tampering with your meta description by using bits of your text mixed in with random other stuff :(
