Why doesn't my post show up when I search for tags I used?

  I posted a post and used several tags, but it doesn’t appear when I do a search for the tags.

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

  Hi,

  The search does not look for post tags or comments. Only post titles and contents are indexed by the search feature.

  I’m still confused. These words are also in the content. Some of the words are in the title.

  I’m also doing the search in the spot in Reader where it says “enter a tag”. I’d really appreciate any help figuring this out. I double-checked to make sure my post is public and that the tags were entered correctly. This has never happened before.

  Could you please provide me with some of the words you’re searching for?

  Here is a link to the search results for the word ‘zero’ using the search widget in the sidebar. The results show one post with ‘zero’ in the title and content, then another with the word ‘zero’ only in the content.

  I tagged “stress” in a post. On the reader (not my own page), I typed “stress” into the spot on the right. http://wordpress.com/tag/stress/

  In the past, when I’ve tagged a post “tango”, it’s appeared in the posts with this tag. This time, my most recent post isn’t showing up anywhere but in my own reader. It’s quite vexing. I’ll survive, I suppose.
