Experian searches - affect credit rating?

in Credit cards
Hi,
I just became a member of Experian to check my credit report, and noticed there are seven searches in the past six months. Four I know about, one seems to be a duplicate from an insurance company, and two are from Experian in the past month. Will the experian searches affect my credit score when other companies look, or are they not included? If it does affect it, should I ask Experian why they searched twice?
Thanks
SArah
