Hi Travis,
I'm aware of highlighting and the page markup being in different bits.
However, I have to reiterate here: I'm not trying to find what problems
Voiceover has, I'm just trying to see if they are possible to
circumvent. That is, I'm trying to see how I can get an experience like
that of Windows/Linux screen readers so that it would fall into my
comfort zone.
David kindly mentioned that every screen reader has its own quirks and
advantages, and that I shouldn't expect Voiceover to deliver the same
experience, Google highlighting the results or not. From that message, I
extracted the following answer to my question:
"For _any_ reason, to read Google search results, you have to move to
the next object several times. There is no way to lower the number of
keystrokes (I.E. switching to read by line and then headings and back
takes as many, or even more, keystrokes than going through the website
address and the highlighted words in the website description)."
Hope that recap helps someone else in the future :)

One thing to keep in mind about search results from google is that
google has the habbit of highlighting any search terms in the search
results. This has the unfortunate result of sometimes putting breaks
where they really shouldn't be, and vo acts accordingly. It is a bit
irritating, but you get used to it.
It's not a problem with voiceover, it's how the results are displayed,
vo has no control over that.
