How to Find my Pins on Pinterest

How to Find my Pins on Pinterest

Pinterest announced a new, useful search feature that allows you to filter your search results to just your own Pins.
You can now search for images that you’ve pinned and filter out all the other search results from other users of Pinterest.
Can’t remember an image you’ve uploaded? Just search for it and Pinterest should locate it for you. Pinterest’s Software Engineer, Hui Xu said this is designed to help you “rediscover stuff you’ve pinned.”

This is rolling out now, although I personally do not see it yet. Pinterest also promises to enable this search feature on mobile “soon.”

No more scrolling! Pinterest lets you search your own pins

Pinterest fixed a major problem for many pinners today. It added a search feature for your own pins so that you don’t have to go sifting through what could be hundreds of pins on one board.
How many times have you spent what feels like 10 minutes just searching for that brown sugar garlic chicken recipe you know is in your recipe board somewhere? If you’re like me, the answer is “way too many — I should just print this thing out.”

I knew this feature would have to come at some point. Finding new things on Pinterest is what the service is all about, but trying to recall one of those discoveries is annoyingly difficult. Pinterest allows you to see images that can be collected onto topic-specific boards. These boards, however, can become lengthy — particularly recipe boards — making it difficult to find a recipe you may have pinned last week.

The tool is fairly simple. You can search your previous pins using the existing search bar except now you can filter specifically for “just my pins.” Search for a specific keyword, such as “garlic brown sugar chicken,” and Pinterest will pull up any of your pins that match those keywords.
Most of the time pins seem to captioned with relevant information, such as the name of a dish, clothing designer, location, or other topics, but this may push people to add more memorable keywords to their pins.
Pinterest software engineer Hui Xu explained in a blog post that this is first available on the web version and is currently being deployed. Mobile support will come “soon.”
