The search bar on Pinterest gives users the ability to find exactly what they’re looking for quickly. This feature also allows them to get inspiration for new ideas. According to new reports, it seems this search bar is now broken. Some affected users said Pinterest throws out a ‘Sorry, we couldn’t find any pins for this search’ error message when using the search bar.
Understanding the issue
Today, users are reporting an error message they get when using the search bar on Pinterest. According to the Pinterest users, the message says: ‘Sorry, we couldn’t find any pins for this search’. Unfortunately, this isn’t the only issue people are facing. The affected users also mentioned that tapping on the suggestions also throws the same error message.
According to an affected user on Reddit, it seems this issue isn’t new. The Redditor mentioned that he once experienced this issue a few years ago. In addition, the user said former searches, which initially went through, aren’t coming up with anything anymore.
Information from Downdetector indicates that this issue currently affects hundreds of users. However, after checking from our end, we realized the issue doesn’t affect everyone. The search bar worked perfectly on our iOS device. Furthermore, users mentioned that they tried a few troubleshooting steps, such as:
- Clearing cache
- Reinstalling Pinterest
- Using the Pinterest website
Unfortunately, none of these steps worked to address the “Sorry, we couldn’t find any pins for this search” error message on Pinterest. Since the search bar isn’t working, we recommend using Google’s search bar instead. To do this, all you need is to input the keyword + Pinterest. This way, you should be able to find images or inspiration for new ideas, including things like customizable pins from lapelpinnow.com.
We’ll keep an eye on Pinterest for a fix. As soon as the team drops updates, we’ll let you know about it here.
