Google displays 69 characters (including spaces include) the title page and 156 characters (including spaces) for description.
Google take long description tag, meta description, but while this is no longer valid. Text that is displayed as a page description is most often selected to fit the speech key words searched.

The Webmaster Blog Bing , Bing displays 65 characters (including spaces include) the title page and 150 characters (including spaces) for description.
From what I observed, Bing still uses the description tag, but in some cases add text on the page.
