Pinterest launches new visual search feature for stuff

Have you ever want that perfect something but been at a loss to describe how it looks?

Now Pinterest can fill in the gaps with a new visual search tool for web and mobile.

Worth a thousand words?

Pinterest announced the update in a blog post.

"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.

"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."

 

Look and feel

When you spot something in a pin that takes your fancy, you can tap the search tool in the corner of the pin and select the are you're interested in.

Let's say it's a lamp. You can zoom in on the lamp, find out what it's called and discover where it's available.

Search results can be filtered using a variety of tags. For example, for your lamp you could add tags such as "red" and "art deco".

For Pinterest's 100 million users, Christmas might arrived early.
