I search from the page source but can't find the related term, change useragent to googlebot also got the same result.

I wondering how to implement this mechanism with Google able to index the content but able to hide the content with paywall when normal visitor come to the page.

Appreciate all the master here can share me some tips.
Thank you very much.

Cloaking most likely. They show the full content to anything accessing the page from Googlebot IP ranges, for everything else you get paywalled.

yes sometimes when we search on google and we click on website and we dont get anything related keyword we searched. even when we try find in source code.
i always wondered how people can do it. i am also interested in knowing this.
also this is not clocking

It is cloaking. If the site is serving up content to Googlebot that is different from the content the end user receives (as evidenced via the snippet), that is by definition cloaked content.
 
Yep, they're cloaking. Simply, they check for signs a request is coming from Google (and maybe other SEs) and if it is will show full content to get indexed and ranking.
 
Cloaking is the way the information can be indexed but prevented to be viewed by users. Other option is to use some javascript but you can block javascript in your browser if it is getting the paywall from javascript. In the present case, it is looking like they are showing questions in some initial pages (upto 249 questions) and later on the further pages they are showing paywall which can be done after getting the paginated pages indexed.
 
I have tested using Bing Mobile Friendliness Test Tool, looks like its able to read the content as well:

Unfortunately Google already phase out cache result, not sure is there other similar site?
