How To Search Your Own “Pins” On Pinterest

By Barry Schwartz

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.”
