  Hey!

  It is impossible to find things on my blog due to too much text when searching! How can you only show the topic title and not all of the text as well?

  All the themes I have tried have been a nightmare!

  Thanks

  Mike

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

  That is theme-dependent. Some themes show only titles and maybe excerpts when you search; you just have to look to see which.

  Here is a list of themes where the excerpt function raincoaster is referring to:

  Also note that if you are logged in to WordPress, you will see a box “Search WordPress.com this site all sites on the top right of your screen. Use that to see a list of truncated articles.

  (you can search other wp.com sites, and other logged in wp.com readers can search your site)
