#' Search for pins
#'
#' The underlying search method depends on the `board`, but most will search
#' for text in the pin name and title.
#'
#' @returns A data frame that summarises the metadata for each pin.
#'   Key attributes (`name`, `type`, `description`, `created`, and `file_size`)
#'   are pulled out into columns; everything else can be found in the `meta`
#'   list-column.
#' @inheritParams pin_read
#' @param search A string to search for in pin name and title.
#'   Use `NULL` to return all pins.
#' @param ... Additional arguments passed on to methods.
#' @export
