  Do you know if there is a way to search tags? I found a plug-in called ‘WP Extended Search,’ but I can’t figure out if there’s a way to use it on WordPress.com.

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

  Are you referring to this plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extended-search/

  If so, it isn’t available here at wordpress.COM.

  It is available on a self-hosted wordpress.ORG site for free. Here are the differences between a wordpress.COM site and a wordpress.ORG site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Also, how do you want to search tags? Do you want to search the tags on your own site? If so, you can do that here: https://sierranevadalist.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag

  Hope this helps!

  I wanted readers to be able to search blog posts by tag.

  Hmm, I’m not finding anything right away that allows readers to search blog posts by tags.

  You can add the Tag Cloud widget to your sidebar and that would allow users to click the tag name to see related posts. It displays the most used tags in a bigger font (word cloud style).

  You can add the Tag Cloud widget in your WP Admin Widgets area: https://sierranevadalist.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  Thanks! The Tag Cloud widget does what I want.
