  Usign the WordPress search I’ve searched my name and the blog url but nothing shows, why is that?

  Cheers

  Hi. See this please, particularly the last part that says that blog names are not indexed:

  Thanks for that. I’m surprised as I would have thought following others was a lot easier when you could search for them.

  @vanbunnik
  You can still search for them. Here’s the format:
  http://wordpress.com/tags/cheese/
  Simply change cheese to any other keyword

  http://wordpress.com/better-blogging
  Note that keyword phrases are separated by – (dash)

  see: global tags
