I search with google for a lot of things over the years and gotten a lot of results.(True Story;))
However one thing has shown up in most of my search results is"…".
I have grown to hate ellipsis, they are the second most annoying thing about searching google.
Does anyone know what I can do view the Full Title and Description when searching Google?
Not exactly what you’re asking for, but… If you’re looking for how reliable a website is, try the Web of Trust plugin. It will report how reliable or trustworthy a site is before you click on a link. Each link on a Google page will show a little icon denoting its trustworthiness.

p.s. to directly answer your question, sometimes if you hover the mouse over a link, the full link name will appear at the bottom left of the browser screen.
There’s no such thing as “the full title and description”. So you can’t read it.
What you’re calling the “description” is in fact just Google extracting a couple sentences-worth of text from the page content found near your search terms. The page may go on for dozens of paragraphs in either direction. The way to see the whole page is to load the whole page from the source by clicking the link in Google’s results. Again, there is not some concise “description” of each page on the internet that you could access if you knew how.
The page’s “full title” does actually exist, at least for most pages. And most times it’s fairly relevant information. Unfortunately, Google chooses to construct the “title” of each search result entry by taking a hunk of that and a hunk of what it thinks is the website’s title and tacking them together. AFAIK, there’s no way top see the full page title without loading the whole page from the source by clicking the link in Google’s results.
Note to html/http gurus: I’m aware of the various headers & <meta> tags. If they reliably contained useful information we’d have a solution in principle. But they don’t so we don’t.
