What role does the nosnippet value play in the robots metadata?

The nosnippet value in the robots metadata prevents search engines from displaying a snippet of the page in search results.

Using the nosnippet value instructs search engines not to show any description or preview of the page content in search results. This can be useful for maintaining privacy or controlling how the page is presented in search results.
