Pinterest New Visual Search

Pinterest Introduces a New Visual Search Tool

Nathaniel Mott | November 9, 2015

Pinterest has introduced a new visual search feature that allows its users to identify specific objects shown in the images people collect and share on its site.
The tool works by allowing people to select a portion of an image — presumably centered on whatever they wish to learn more about — and searching for similar images. It’s basically Google’s Image Search built right into Pinterest’s service.
