Search result snippets can include text from the global nav

Follow-up from #1377 (comment 1337032141)

In some searches, we can see Google is including the primary navigation in both the result snippet and in choosing results.

For example:

Problems here:

  • Some of these pages (like Vuex) don't mention SCSS at all besides having it appear on the page in the global navigation.
  • The snippet for the less-relevant matches is just showing text from the global navigation.

Can we exclude the navigation from the crawler and/or result snippets?
