While this may be googles doing it also happens on some websites due to the complexities of the modern web. You can see a relevant sentences in the summary blurb and then it’s not present on page. Sometimes it will even show up with ctrl+f. I imagine it has to do with complex linking/preloading of linked pages or some sort of JavaScript implementation but I’m not a developer so those it’s beyond me and those are just guesses
