  Hey there,

  There are a variety of criteria used when determining if a post should appear in topic searches in Reader–you can read more about them here.

  A quick glance at your blog shows that many of your posts have a very large number of tags–the post in question, for instance, has seventeen. Posts with more than fifteen tags will generally not appear in topic search; similarly, the more tags a post has, the less likely it is to appear.

  Try using a small, selective number of relevant tags when writing your posts, and you should find yourself included in topic search more regularly.

  Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

  Best,
  P.

  Ah, thank you very much. That’s cleared that up. Cheers.
