What is Instagram Hashtag Search?

Instagram users share millions of pieces of content everyday. Between feed posts, stories, lives, and Instagram reels, navigating through all of this content has become more difficult. As a result, many brand marketers like to use the Instagram Hashtag Search feature located on the search bar to see what types of content appears for specific hashtags. This is especially useful when trying to find niche-specific content – if you search #fashion, #clothing, #ootd, #travel, #makeup – you will find pieces of content (top content / recent content) that have used these hashtags in the creator’s copy or comments.
