  I created a blog, everything looks fine, but when I log out and go to the wordpress home page and search for my name it says “0 results”. Why isn’t it able to find my blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The WordPress.com search engine only searches through post content, so you won’t find it if you search by title or name.

  Instead, you can visit your blog directly via http://ellelothlorien.wordpress.com/

  Excuse me but macmanxx is Staff. He answered the question.
  From the support documentation please note:
  “the search engine only indexes the body text of blog posts, pages, and comments. The blog name, post titles, and post/comment author names are not indexed.”
