Narrow your search results

Use guides to add Pinterest’s most popular search terms to your search. After you search for an idea, you might see suggested terms under your search bar. These terms are “guides” and are designed to help you find what you’re looking for. When you click a guide, you will be taken to a new search with the guide term added to your original search.

You may also see some more specific guides that include a drop-down menu of grouped guide terms to help you refine your search. For example, if you type “Pie recipes” into the search bar, you might see a guide called “Fruits.” Click the drop-down arrow next to the guide to see a list of grouped guide terms. Click one of the guide terms to help refine the search even further.
