Blog not showing up in WordPress search
-
I’ve noticed that my posts are not showing up in a WordPress search when I type in certain tags. For instance one of my posts is tagged as xam’d lost memories, xamd and bounen no xamdou. However if I search for the first two my blog doesn’t show up. I can only find it if I click on a related tag, bounen no xamdou, in the sidebar on the right or if Itype that into the search. It’s not just this post that’s doing that either.
Also, does the search match tags and categories? And what about the title of your post?
Whatever the case it seems weird that some of my tags are working in a search while some are not. Am I doing something wrong?

Well, you’re not using too many tags or a different language, the most common causes of this issue. Have you set those posts to post at a later time? That is a known bug and staff are working on it; you will need to contact them from your dashboard and let them know.
If you set things to post later and they aren’t showing up in tag/category pages, just edit the post. That usually solves the problem. But don’t fail to report it anyway.

Mark,
You said, “This should be fixed – sorry!” Does that mean it is fixed or it will be fixed?My blog (http://vdma.wordpress.com) shows up in all the global tag listings, but I cannot find it on WordPress search. My privacy settings are set to visible to everyone. I contacted support, and they said the problem was fixed, but then referred me to a Q&A about the global tag listings.
I have been scheduling posts to post at a later time.
Thanks.
