  While you offer “Freshly pressed”etc. there does not seem to be an easy way that I have found to search wordpress.com sites. Is there something i am missing?

  Thanks

  Hello there,
  For WordPress.com global tag searches ie. Topics search to locate blogs with similar content see here > http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topics/

  For WordPress.com searches
  The WordPress.com search engine indexes post, pages, and comments content (body text). Unless entered as text in those contents, blog name, post titles, and post/comment author names are not indexed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/

  For Google searches use this format and replace “keyword” with whatever word you wish:
  keyword site:wordpress.com/

  Example search string
  Queen Victoria site:wordpress.com
