    you're still transmitting/redistributing
    the content
Parts of it. Google does the same in their search results. The user can even decide which parts, because they show you the part that contains the search term.

So they provide a service that includes storing your content in it's entirety.

Has this ever been tested in court?

Google is doing something different in regular search results.

They are showing a small extract for context OR a summary specified by the publisher.

That’s completely legit and fair use.
