Instant Answers/Account Issues/Known Issues  Issue: I can't find
my Pins, boards, or friends using search  posted this on January
06, 2013 14:51  Some users report that they can't find their
Pins, boards or friends using search.    It's common for users
to not be able to find content on Pinterest through the search
box. To make searching easier and more accurate, now when you
want to search for something we’ll suggest search keywords as
you type. If you're looking for a specific person you are
following, or a Facebook friend, that person's name and profile
picture will appear in the drop-down list of suggestions as you
type. Then you can click on their name to go directly to their
profile!     And don't forget, you can also sort your search
results by pins, boards, or pinners by clicking on those buttons
in the top right-hand corner of your search results.    In
addition to these features, we're working to make our search
more comprehensive and reduce the delay in indexing content.
