I'm actually creating SEO properties for a website owned by the company I work.
http://animoetc.com
I attempted to create OpenGraph entries that work with Facebook and other social stuff. But I've used meta name="og:__", that seems to work, but now I'm confused because many sites use meta property="og:__" instead.
So, is there a difference between both?
That question did not help me much: Whats the difference between meta name and meta property?
Thanks in advance.
The meta property is a standard defined in Open Graph Protocol, the other is a simple HTML attribute – see this – that all search engines recognize, and its value does not need to start with the structure og: (which it is precisely the acronym of Open Graph).

I've been looking this days to the code (using google chrome and its Inspect element feature) of several pages in order to see what they are doing (javascript, css, html, etc...) and I've seen something strange when searching for gmail at www.google.es (It's the same with www.google.com)
Just go to the link or search it yourselves and you'll see:
What is that line doing there? I already tried cleaning my monitor but it's not that ;)
I tried to look at the code in order to see if I could understand what is going on but I can't see anything strange:
Any ideas?
It is actually a single unicode character ฏ๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎ which has an unicode entities of \u0e0f\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e
Basically the diacritical mark (commonly used for accented letter) was added to the letter 26 times.
It has nothing to do with google itself, that character was in the meta tag of one of the sites it crawled and thus shown in the search result.
The link Alex posted, provides detailed explanation on this.

I suspect that someone has copy-pasted my website HTML and is using it as their own. How can I find out who it is? Is there any way to track them down?
I know that I can reverse-image search.
Is there a way to search the internet by webpage html fragments?
If they didn't rehost my resources, is there a way to check who is hotlinking my CSS or JS, if anyone? (what this person mentioned but didn't explain Hotlinking my Cascading Style Sheets )
You can check the request body fields, assuming that they're stealing your server's bandwith. You can also write a crawler that tries to match your html with other but It won't be reliable. Maybe you can use Google to find specific html blocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_hacking

Is it helpful to improve of SEO, when I write Meta-Tag in many languages ?
Is it helps to search engines to find description of site in other languages ?
If you are targeting users in a couple specific countries, it can be helpful to have metas in multiple languages. A couple ways to do this:
Depending on what CMS you are using (if you are using a CMS) you can get multiple language SEO plugin that will help generate SEO tags for you.
You can add custom meta tags with descriptions directing for each specific type of language you would like to use (i.e. <meta name="description" lang="DE" content="Germany description.">
For larger scale projects the your best route would actually be to buy country specific domains (i.e. yoursite.fr, yoursite.uk). Article on that topic here: http://searchengineland.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-multilingual-and-multiregional-seo-157838
BIG BUT: Google does not make it easy for you to target separate countries using SEO on one page. Anecdotal evidence suggest it will rank you on one language, and not do as great regardless of linking, etc. on other languages.
For the future, MOZ is great about producing current content re: any SEO questions.

Can the Joomla search function search through Custom HTML Modules? Anytime I enter a keyword in my search box, it only returns results from Categories, Contacts, Articles, Newsfeeds, and Weblinks. However, most of my website content is on these custom modules. Sorry, I'm new at Joomla and any help would be appreciated!
It wouldn't really make sense because how would you return the results? Modules do not have urls to link to.
Out of the box this feature is not implemented and I don't know of any extensions which do that. However, you could write your own search plugin: http://docs.joomla.org/Plugin_Development

I have a website that's indexed on Google. However because my description is so short, the contents in the body are displayed after the ellipsis ... like so...
title for www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com
Brief description ... some body contents
Here's some sample html used in my website
<meta name="description" content="Brief description" />
<body>some body contents</body>
How can I make sure search engines only display the brief description inside the above tag, instead of displaying information in the body as well?
Such short descriptions would hardly fulfil Google's desire to provide informative/accurate snippets:
"Google will sometimes use the meta description of a page in search
results snippets, if we think it gives users a more accurate
description than would be possible purely from the on-page content." -

SEOMoz has a much more expansive review on how to avoid Google's overwriting of them: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/why-wont-google-use-my-meta-description
So the short answer is that you can't "make" search engines display your "weak" description, but you can block them altogether as per #kabaros's comment...
