Social Media Marketing

Keyword search is coming to Instagram

Instagram announced this month that English-speaking users in six countries, including the UK, US, Ireland, and Canada, will be able to search the platform using keywords. Before today, they could only search for hashtags or accounts. So, for example, if you previously wanted to find “healthy recipes,” you’d only be able to search for posts that tagged #healthyrecipes or accounts with variations on “healthy recipes” in their name or bio.

“The search is limited to general interest topics and keywords that are within Instagram’s community guidelines,” the spokesperson says.
