I've read an article from "SEO BY THE SEA", presented the subject "Google Omits Needless Words (On Your Pages?)", very interesting.
The author suggested that Google tries to understand what the webpages are about?, analyzes webpages and distinguishes boilerplate from contents then going to be ignoring boilerplate when it indexes those pages.
Boilerplate, in his meaning, is terms and phrases which alway used in every pages as fixed contents of websites template.
If his suggestion is true this will affects to most websites around the Internet because most of them use boiler plate as their standard fixed contents which appears on every pages or at least nearly. Header, footer, both left and right sidebars, navigation links, copyright notice, and also another anchor text in links, etc. will be disregarded.
However, my opinion, although the boilerplate texts are look like duplicated contents but they're very important and useful sections of most webpages that can communicate with visitors, show how they can use or navigate around the sites, show anything about entire websites in conclusion form. So, I think, it's no reason for Google to ignore them. May be, Google and most search engines have recognized the boilerplate and have been accepting them , possibly, using them for indexing, but only for one most important page of sites such as homepage, and ignoring them for another pages.
