Google’s Title & Description Hijacked In Yahoo Results Due To Glitch

I reported at the Roundtable that Yahoo! Shows Different Site’s Title & Description For Google.com. Apparently, this is visible in the US, and if you conduct search on [google] at Yahoo Search you may notice that the top result for www.google.com has the title, “Elisha Morgan Gemologists.” That title comes from a site listed in the Yahoo Directory, that happens to 302 redirect to google.com. So now, Yahoo lists that site’s title and description for Google.com. Go figure?
