Body: <p>Usually Google search results shows the <code>&lt;title&gt;</code> value as the title on the results, but with a CraftCMS website it shows the websites name with a colon and removes the last segment? I've checked on another CraftCMS website and the same thing is happening.</p>
  
  <p>Code: <code>&lt;title&gt;Book Store | City Name | Something&lt;/title&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>Google Results: (Whats happening currently) </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>MyBookCompany: | Book Store | City Name</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Google Results: (What it should be)</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Book Store | City Name | Something</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>All other pages of the website meta title renders properly on their searched page. The DOM shows the code title correctly. Using no plugin and this dates latest CraftCMS version. How do I remove this default behaviour that is happening only on the home page?</p>

  Usually Google search results shows the `<title>` value as the title on the results, but with a CraftCMS website it shows the websites name with a colon and removes the last segment? I've checked on another CraftCMS website and the same thing is happening.
  
  Code: `<title>Book Store | City Name | Something</title>`
  
  Google Results: (Whats happening currently)
  
  > **MyBookCompany: | Book Store | City Name**
  
  Google Results: (What it should be)
  
  > **Book Store | City Name | Something**
