  I wrote a blog about Hitchens, and I don’t see it when I search for blogs about him.
  What’s wrong?

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

  I probably don’t understand a lot of things. I was searching for it only on wordpress and not on google. I thought there’s a difference. When you search for a particular topic on WordPress it shows relevant posts by dates. That’s what I’m referring to.

  re: wordpress.com search

  keep in mind that 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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/#missing-posts
