Searching other blogs– how do I get this to work correctly?

  When I use the WordPress search function to search for keywords, topics, etc. on other blogs, WP will tell me there are 25,000 matches, but only show me two pages. Some of the links on those pages don’t seem to have anything to do with what I’m looking for. Theoretically there should be pages and pages coming up, but I’m limited to a measly two. It doesn’t matter whether I ask it to show me the most relevant or the most recent. I have IE 9. Thanks for any help in advance.

  I never use that. I use tag pages, eg http://wordpress.com/tag/wikileaks

  Thank you. I’ve tried that multiple times tonight and it seems to get stuck. It just says “searching…”

  You have some very funny stuff on your site!

  Thanks.

  I think the “stuckness” might be due to using IE9. Tons of people are reporting problems with it. If you could possibly try another browser, it might work better.
