Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 268 Instagram Keyword Search This week, Instagram announced Instagram Keyword Search, which will let you search for specific keywords, rather than just hashtags, profiles or locations on Instagram. This is big news, because previously, your Instagram searches were limited. Now you will be able to find posts that include the keyword search query on Instagram. For now, keyword search will be limited to general interest topics and keywords. What this means is you'll likely find some general word, but not specific brands for now. Here is a look at Instagram keyword search. #Instagram launches keyword search tool.
