  Is there a theme or other way for the site to be configured to allow for the search page to search by category or tag of posts WITHIN the blog, preferable by multiple words using both “and” and “or” (boolean operations)? With Ryu I can at least add these categories to the body of the post as to simulate it for one key word but this is not ideal.

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

  The level of sophistication you expect is not available on free hosted wordpress.com blogs.

  No there is no upgrade that will provide what you seek here at WordPress.com. I recommend that you hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.ORG install.

  @timethief: If I want to enable searching of posts or content based on categories, do I need to move my blog to wordpress.org too? My blog is currently hosted by WordPress.com (paid).

  The blog I need advice for is http://thembastory.com
