    It depends on WHY your site cannot be crawled.

    robots.txt mistake??
    .htaccess file incorrect???
    DNS issue????
    server down?????

    Google will sometimes change the title and description (even if you have it correctly in your meta data) displayed based on the keyword search if they feel there is a more appropriate or relevant one to use. Sometimes they use a snippet of data from your site. This is also effected by your search history and whether or not you are logged into a Google Account or have any Google Tools / Toolbar installed.

    The fact that you don't come up for your keyword doesn't mean they aren't crawling it or that they don't have it in their index.

    Search for site:mydomain.com and also search for the exact URL and then view their cache of it.
    Also, find any result for the URL in question and view the cached site.

    You will most likely see that they do have all of your data, but they just chose to display it differently based on your query.

    Google rolled our "Better titles" a year ago and you are not the only one who isn't happy with it: Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Better page titles in search results

    Do you see any suggestions from them in Google Webmaster Tools:

    we try to notify webmasters when we discover titles that can be improved on their websites through the HTML Suggestions feature in Webmaster Tools; you can find this feature in the Diagnostics section of the menu on the left hand side.
    Everything will be ok in the end

    If it's not ok, it's not the end

    Pop your URL in here:
    Google Structured Data Testing Tool

    And you will see exactly what Google says in the section where your meta description used to show:
    "The excerpt from the page will show up here. The reason we can't show text from your webpage is because the text depends on the query the user types."

    It does the same messing around with the Title. Google knows best, hard cheese all of us along with all the time we waste thinking "did I write that title tag" and scurrying off to check!!!

    i've seen this too where Google changes the title to suit themselves. I haven't seen it happen a lot but I have seen it. Also sometimes it can pull the title from DMOZ.

    without name of the website no one can tell exactly what happened with your title? bcz I have been touch with google last 10 years and I strongly say that if your website is maximum 1 year old and if you did not do anything then google automatically visit and index website. its myth fact.

    The main reason can be "robot.txt" or may be due to some coding errors!!
    Also do check the capitalization errors.
    good luck
