Instagram offers all of the messaging features you’d need to chat about the latest memes and posts except for one: a search tool. It lets you video call your friends and dispatch self-destructing pictures and videos, but you can’t sift through your conversations.
Instagram提供了您需要聊天的所有消息功能，有关最新的模因和帖子，但其中一项除外：搜索工具。 它可以让您与朋友进行视频通话并发送自毁图片和视频，但是您无法在对话中进行筛选。
When you want to pin down a specific message, you have no option other than to scroll through the whole chat yourself. On the Direct Messaging tab, there is a search bar perched at the top, but that only filters your conversations by the contact.
当您要确定特定的消息时，除了自己滚动整个聊天之外，别无选择。 在“直接消息传递”选项卡上，顶部有一个搜索栏，但是仅按联系人过滤对话。
Unfortunately, third-party Instagram developers don’t have access to your messages. This rules out any possibility of an unofficial client for looking up your Instagram conversations.
不幸的是，第三方Instagram开发人员无法访问您的消息。 这排除了非官方客户查找您的Instagram对话的任何可能性。
Luckily, there is a working, albeit cumbersome, workaround you can turn to.
幸运的是，您可以找到一个可行的解决方法，尽管麻烦。
The only way you can search Instagram DMs is through the Data Download tool. This tool lets you create and download an archive of all the information Instagram has on you including the pictures and videos you have posted, your personal details, and yes, your direct messages. Because these files are in text format, you can easily search them with any basic text editor that is available on your computer.
搜索Instagram DM的唯一方法是通过数据下载工具 。 使用此工具，您可以创建和下载Instagram所拥有的所有信息的存档，包括已发布的图片和视频，您的个人详细信息以及是的直接消息。 由于这些文件为文本格式，因此您可以使用计算机上可用的任何基本文本编辑器轻松搜索它们。
To request a copy of your Instagram data, launch the Instagram app on your iPhone or Android device, and enter your profile tab.
要请求获取Instagram数据的副本，请在iPhone或Android设备上启动Instagram应用程序，然后进入“个人资料”标签。
Here, select the hamburger menu icon in the top-right corner to reveal a side menu.
在这里，选择右上角的汉堡菜单图标以显示侧面菜单。
Go to Settings > Security > Download Data.
转到设置>安全性>下载数据。
Enter your email address and select the blue “Request Download” button found at the bottom of the form. You will soon receive an email with a link to your data archive.
输入您的电子邮件地址，然后选择表单底部的蓝色“请求下载”按钮。 您很快会收到一封电子邮件，其中包含指向您的数据档案的链接。
On your computer, you can access this option by clicking your profile picture icon at the top-right corner on Instagram’s website.
在您的计算机上，您可以通过单击Instagram网站右上角的个人资料图片图标来访问此选项。
From there, head into Settings > Privacy & Settings > Request Download.
从那里进入设置>隐私和设置>请求下载。
Once you have downloaded the ZIP folder, extract its content on your computer or phone. It will have a “messages.json” file. When you open it, it will take a few extra seconds to load, depending on how much you text on Instagram.
下载ZIP文件夹后 ，将其内容提取到计算机或电话上。 它将有一个“ messages.json”文件。 当您打开它时，加载它需要花费几秒钟的时间，具体取决于您在Instagram上发短信的数量。
The file’s content may look like gibberish and too complex at first, but you don’t need to understand it. All you need to know is this file features a log of all your direct messages until the time when you selected that Request Download button.
该文件的内容乍看之下似乎有些乱七八糟，但您无需了解它。 您需要知道的是，此文件包含所有直接消息的日志，直到您选择“请求下载”按钮为止。
To look up a specific Instagram message, simply execute the search command (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac, and the search option on your phone’s file manager), then type in your keyword. The text will be highlighted if there’s a match.
要查找特定的Instagram消息，只需执行搜索命令(在Windows上为Ctrl + F，在Mac上为Cmd + F，以及手机的文件管理器上的搜索选项)，然后输入关键字。 如果有匹配项，文本将突出显示。
Alternatively, because each message is logged with its timestamp and sender, you can also use dates and contact names as keywords. The data is documented in reverse-chronological order. Therefore, to read the complete conversation associated with your keyword, simply scroll up or down.
另外，由于每条消息都记录了其时间戳和发件人，因此您还可以将日期和联系人姓名用作关键字。 数据以相反的时间顺序记录。 因此，要阅读与您的关键字相关的完整对话，只需向上或向下滚动即可。
Further, you can explore the archive and the rest of the items to understand how much of your data Instagram collects. There’s a “seen_conduct.json” file that has a log of every post you’ve seen and scrolled past. “Devices.json” has an account of the devices you’ve ever used to log into your Instagram account.
此外，您可以浏览档案库和其余项目，以了解Instagram收集了多少数据。 有一个“ seen_conduct.json”文件，其中包含您所看到并滚动过的每个帖子的日志。 “ Devices.json”拥有您用来登录Instagram帐户的设备的帐户。
This trick is no substitute for a straightforward search bar, and it’s especially not practical for when you want to instantly go through your direct messages’ history. But until Instagram adds an official search tool, it is a handy workaround you can rely on in the most desperate circumstances.
此技巧不能替代简单的搜索栏，当您想要立即浏览直接消息的历史记录时，它尤其不切实际。 但在Instagram添加正式的搜索工具之前，这是一个在大多数情况下都可以依靠的便捷解决方法。
