  Well, WP finally did it! We can now search through all WP public blogs.

  Good luck!

  It’s buggy.

  Here’s proof of the bug:

  http://en.search.wordpress.com/?q=%22john+straley%22

  12 results, 10 shown. But wait! I can count: only SIX are shown! And page 2 has NO RESULTS!

  WTF?!

  It’s new. I would be surprised if there were not bugs to be worked out. If you find bugs, report them to staff via the support tab.

  It’s v-e-r-y buggy.

  Page 2 duplicates some results of Page 1!

  I don’t think Support wants to hear from me again for a while after the email I sent this morning about the ongoing Categories bug …

  As tsp has said, it’s new. We are working on this – which we knew about – and other minor features.
  Having used the search feature a huge amount today I can say that it does work, you will find things.

  Trust me on this one. The frikkin Category bug is more important than Search.

  Shift resources.
