What Determines How A Web Page Is Displayed On A Search Engine?

When a search engine finds my web site ” http://www.pecanworld.com ” , it displays the title perfectly but under the title are random words from my navigation bar. How can I choose what is displayed under the title by a search engine?
This htm code is displayed under the title line but the engines do not display it. What am I doing wrong?

    What am I doing wrong? 10 out of 10 for trying but you are doing almost everything wrong! When you have a couple of hours to spare, turn of the cell phone, make a cup of coffee and read through this tutorial http://www.seo-blog.com/tutorial.php slowly.

    Short answer: Everything.
    Search engines nowadays are “smart”. Wherein back in the days, many webmasters would pollute their webpage with keywords, smart search engines now crawl through the site and determine how relevant the content is.
    A few tips: 1) List keywords in your meta tags. 2) List a description in your meta tags. 3) Have relevant content, using key words throughout your pages. 4) Submit your site to as many engines as possible.
    Also, make sure your Meta Tags are within the tags
