Instagram Search Arrives For Web Users

Back in 2013, Instagram moved from an app-only to a full-feed experience for Web users. While users could browse accounts and their own feed, search wasn’t an option. Until today.

Instagram users can now search by hashtags, locations or users. An icon will appear on the left of the query as a location or hashtag search, and the user avatar will show if the query matches a user. The location pages are slick, featuring a map and posts that occurred in a specific location.

This addition is now live for Web users. The search box is displayed in the center of the header at the top of the page.
