Where is the search feature?
-
I am REALLY frustrated by your new layout. Once upon a time, I used to be able to search for other people’s blogs. Now, I can’t. Your ‘Discover’ search box tells me there are no results for Egyptian Revival. Oh really? There used to be TONS. Two results only for ‘Egyptian’? Are you effing kidding me?!!!! Come on. You’ve got some stupid filter on or ‘Search’ isn’t global anymore. What the hell.

@timethief – thanks, I never used tag searches previously in order to find the results that I previously accessed. I want to know why the ‘Discover’ search results are incorrect. Also, I just googled ‘wordpress search’ and found https://en.search.wordpress.com/ where I entered ‘Egyptian revival’ and guess what? TONS of results. So how do I navigate to this search feature from WordPress? Why could I only find it through google?

Discover is the replacement page for of Freshly Pressed posts and all posts featured there are selected by Staff. https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-featured-on-discover/
Bottom line: Learn how to tag search. It’s easy. You just change the last keyword or keyword phrase in the URL
Example 1: https://wordpress.com/tags/egyptian/
Eaxmple 2: https://wordpress.com/tags/knitting/Tags in the Reader https://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/
