"Pinterest may not be replacing Google anytime soon, but the platform is becoming a true search alternative to the giant. When you search on Pinterest, descriptive visual guides and refined search options will help you sort through the endless stream of images, and discover new, interesting content."
Here is an infographic from everypost that shows some of the key features that set Pinterest image search apart from Google.
Some key Pinterest image search features:
- Begin typing a word into search and both keywords and possible categories appear that start with the same letter.
- No repetition of image results, wider variety of unique images related to your search.
- The home newsfeed shows what the people or boards you follow are sharing so you don't miss images about subjects you're interested in.
