I'm seeing odd results in Yahoo. Depending on certian search terms, actual website title are changing in the results??? For example, search for my site searchbliss. I get "powered by SearchBliss" as the title:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkmN5oKZFLQ4BbiBXNyoA?p=searchbliss&ei=UTF-8&x=wrt
But the real title shows for example, when search for "webmaster services" because it is in the actual title:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkmN5oKZFLQ4BbiBXNyoA?p=webmaster+services&ei=UTF-8&x=wrt

I can't explain why, but it seems that Yahoo is taking of what I think may be the more common link text that is pointing to your site and using that for the title. I found pages like this:
http://www.hwy777.com/cw/viewpage.php?page_id=3
that are linking to you with that text...
