If like us you love Pinterest app for iOS and Android, here's a great new feature to make your life a tad easier. Pinterest has announced 'Guided Search' - a feature you will find handy to find content on the portal that has huge amount of content, thanks to 50 million boards with 30 billion Pins. Be it any category of your interest from food to travel, tech to DIY - Guided Search will help you find the right pins on Pinterest. The developers believe that this new search tool can help the explores who know what they want get their faster and even the ones who are just looking around.

For example, if you are searching for some recipe for breakfast, the descriptive guides will help you sift through all the good ideas from other Pinners. Users will be able to scroll through the guides and tap on the ones they find useful or interesting and thus search in the correct direction. Another good example shared on the Pinterest blog is a situation where you are searching for plants to green up your apartment. The Pinterest guides help you get more specific - indoors, shade, succulents - making life much easier.

The best part of the guided search feature is that they leave a little room for "serendipity". The folks over at Pinterest think that it could land you on a road trip or a new hobby, especially something that you didn’t know you were looking for.

    Just updated the Pinterest on my Android phone,
    On the first looks this looks impressive. Though I observe that search results (Pinners) are mostly from US geography. Probably the app is still not that popular in India.

    Am i the only one to feel this?

    #-Link-Snipped-# That has been the case for most new apps and technologies. U.S. people are the early-adopters of all the tech. Asian people seem to follow them quite later.
    Take for example the case of Quora, it used to be flooded with posts from U.S people back in 2011. Now you will see all Indians pulling crowds there.

    I am wondering if Pinterest can arouse interest in people of India.
