How to search for an Instagram account with Google search
Searching for someone on Instagram via Google is useful in some cases, as we know that most Instagram accounts are archived in the Google search engine, so it is possible to access that person’s account via Google.
What you need to know is that if this person was using their real name on Instagram, it was also Username or Display Name and this name is not widely used, because it is possible that you can find it quickly via the Google search engine. But if it is a popular name that is used a lot on Instagram, here it is difficult to access it unless this account is popular.
Open any Internet Browsers, then log in to Google Search Site.
Type in the Google search field, this person’s name, first name, or any name that might be used in their account, followed immediately by the word Instagram. For example, I would search for our Instagram account and write in the Google search engine: thedigiitallife Instagram
You’ll see the results, you can go in and make sure it’s that exact person’s account you’re looking for, and often the first result is the right one. The same goes for the hashtag if you are looking for it, just type it in with the # prefix and it is followed by the word Instagram.
Unfortunately, photos and videos from Instagram accounts are not archived on Google, so if you click on the photos or videos section, the content of Instagram accounts will not be visible to you in general.
