Can I search @usernames and hashtags on Instagram?

While you can create hashtag search columns for Instagram from your monitoring tab, you can no longer search for Instagram users, due to the API changes by Instagram. However, you can continue to search for users and hashtags natively from the Instagram app.

Here's how you can create hashtag search columns from the Monitor tab:
  1. Head over to the Monitor tab
  2. Click the orange + on the bottom-right corner of the screen
  3. From the column on your right, select 'Hashtag Search', that appears under your Instagram username.
  4. Type in a hashtag that you want to monitor and then click Save.
  5. The column will be automatically saved to your Monitor tab.
  6. You can also click on a particular hashtag that appears in one of your Instagram hashtag search columns, to view a pop-up of all the posts related to that hashtag.
