Pinterest now lets you find things you can't describe

Pinterest - which recently announced that it now has over 100 million monthly active users - is rolling out a new search tool that will allow you search for stuff that the company says "you don't have the words to describe." The tool will be available on both mobile as well as the Web.

"Sometimes you spot something you really love on Pinterest, but you don’t know how to find it in real life, or what it’s even called," the company said in a blog post. "There’s that perfect lamp hiding in a Pin of someone’s living room, or maybe a random street style shot with the exact shoes you’re looking for."

As you can see in the image above, the new search tool is located at the top-right corner of a pin, and lets you select the part of the Pin you’re interested in. This will lead to the service displaying visually similar pins, letting you know what that particular item is called and where you can find it - you can even filter the results based on topic to narrow down your search.
