 Description   

When I google "how to install mongodb ubuntu" a big box appears at the top of the search result page with someone else's installation instructions in it. I think it would be nice if it showed our docs instead. Apparently the way they determine what to show in this way isn't completely transparent, but it's partially documented - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6229325?hl=en.

kay.kim - that makes sense I guess.

FWIW, in contrast, for Debian, the snippet is from our site -

Hi andrew.aldridge, allison.moore, and kay.kim,
I've moved this ticket over from from the DEPM project. I am not sure to whom to address this, but it looks like an SEO issue.

Thanks,
Emily

Sorry, I think I created this in the wrong project. I meant to put it in DOCS but don't have permissions to move it.
