A visual search engine has appeared on Pinterest: objects in the photo can now be identified

It often happens that while looking at a photo of an apartment or a house, a Pinterest user likes a bookcase, chandelier or gadget. But what is it and where you can buy, only people who are familiar with the modern trends in interior design know. What to do the rest? Use the visual search engine service , the developers have added it for the convenience of users.

Indeed, everything was done quite conveniently - if you select a separate object and set a search, the service will show photos and a description of similar objects. The same lamp can be highlighted in the photo, having received a whole list of similar products.



A link to the visual search engine is located in the corner. You can also refine your search if the results are too numerous. You can filter the results, for example, by tags and categories. In this case, when searching for a bulb, other categories will not be displayed, objects from which may turn out to be somewhat similar to the search object.

The same chandelier can be worn in the “antique” or “modern design” categories. Of course, the search is conducted not on the Web, but on the Pinterest database, but the service base is huge now.

A visual search service will be available for Pinterest users, including a mobile web application.
