  I recommended one of my blog to one of my readers. She asked me how to search it out and I was unable to tell her since my computer is locked in as a wordpress writer. Please tell me how one of my readers searches the site. Is there a way I can get on wordpress with my machine and not be identified?

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

  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.
  https://en.search.wordpress.com/

  Here are examples of a URLs for doing a tag search:

  https://wordpress.com/tags/fashion/
  https://wordpress.com/tags/humor/
  https://wordpress.com/tags/better-blogging/

  All you have to do is to change keywords for the subject at the end of the URL.

  HI there,

  Not all themes include a search box. If you want a search box on your site you need to add the search widget, as @timethief explained.
