More words are needed to understand your use case.  Hash value of what?  What problem are you trying to solve?

We have a list of hash values for a possible ransomeware attack and need to see if those hashes were ever in our environment.

If you have the hashes in Splunk - perhaps reported by a firewall or email server - then, yes, you can search for them.  They will be in the index in which they were saved.

If the hashes are not indexed in Splunk then you'll have a hard time searching for them.
