<title> TITLE HERE</title>
<meta name="application-name" content="TITLE HERE" />
<meta name="msapplication-tooltip" content="TAGLINE HERE" />

These don't change when you select the "No" option: only the CSS of the theme changes. So the blog title and tagline get hidden from viewers but not from search engines. WP wouldn't have added that option if it meant eliminate instead of don't display.

On the Appearance / Header screen I have that image loaded and "Display Text" checked as "no" so I won't have two sets of texts.

I have the site name and tagline typed in the Settings / General screen.

I'd like to know if search engines can still access the site name and tagline I entered on the Settings / General screen, even though that text isn't displayed.

I'm using Fresh & Clear as the theme.
