Different discriptions for different keywords

Google has picked up my site and that's fine. That's a good thing. But the snippet is different for different keywords. The url address is the same as the name of the site which I've put on the front page. For example: Say I sell widgets and name my site "Joe's Widget Company," and put that name on the home page. And also say the url address of the site is joeswidgetcompany. When I key in "Joe's Widget Company," (three seperate words), I get one snippet, and when I key in joeswidgetcompany (the url address) I get another snippet, and a sublisting for a page deeper in the site.

I've only got one site, but there seems to be at least two different snippets depending on what keywords are used in the search. I'm pleased that my site is listed, but what's going on with the snipets and sublisting?

This is intentional - it's not a bug in any way. Google has a dedicated team working on the snippet selection. Their goal is to match the description to the search terms in order to show users that this is a relevant result and encourage them to click.
