All site operators get to choose whether to allow the information on their site to be included or excluded in Google search results. It is not an automatic thing.

The QB is not the type of site I would expect to be excluded. I don't know if it's always been like this or if it was a recent change.
I actually find it very handy that it's searchable in Google. The Google search engine is much better at finding specific information on this board than the search function at the top of the page. ;-) ;-)
When I had my own domain name and website (not blogger) my site showed up on google even though I never added my url. I'm pretty sure that it is automatic in most cases.
