When you block someone on Instagram, they cannot search for your profile directly or see any of your posts, stories, or profile details. If they try to search your username, your profile won't appear in the search results. However, your comments on mutual friends' posts might still be visible. Blocking effectively makes your profile invisible to the blocked person unless you unblock them.
