Google going googly? Not quite ...

As Kelvyn will know, I've been having probs with one client's site. As a side effect, I had a look in Google to see what he was concerned about.

I typed in "french lavender oil" and the site comes up with this result:

Lavender oil & dried lavender, French lavender oil

Offers dried lavender florets and lavender oil produced at Chateau de la Gabellea in France. Details varieties and their growth and harvest.

The title tag is accurately reflected in the top link, but where did they get the text snippet below? It is nowhere in Joomla's database AFAIK and there's a typo in the chateau name. Looks like a human-edited directory entry from somewhere or other. Most mystifying - and no wonder the client thinks that Joomla is screwing up his listing.

Edit: I just found a help page that explains that some of it comes from the ODP. So I left this here in case anyone found it helpful! I am getting behind with this stuff, as I'm sure it used to mangle content from the page itself.

Here's the entry from ODP, compete with typo:
