  Let me take wild guess or two.

  1. Is it possible that you thought the blog would be instantly available in Google search results?

  It takes weeks for search engines to index content. What attracts search engines is unique content the cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Keep publishing original content frequently because it can take weeks before indexing will happen.

  NOTE: We cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  The process we use for verifying free hosted WordPress.com blogs with search engines is found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

  WordPress.com provides the search engines with site maps. We bloggers do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/

  2. Could it be that you are referring to WordPress.com search?

  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/

  3. Could you be referring to Topics ie. Tag page searches?

  For Topics (Tags page) searches see http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/ This is the syntax http://en/wordpress.com/tags/canada
  See here http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topics/

  All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
