The Pin rule allows you to fix the position of products in search results whenever a customer runs a search or browses a category on your store.
With the help of site rules, you can fix the position of a product for all the searches made on the store. With category rules, you can fix the position of products for specific category results, and with search rules, you can fix the position of products for specific search queries.
Boosting specific products would allow them to appear on the top but does place them at a fixed position as the pin does. You can use the pinning rule to place a specific product in the first position and boost similar products based on their ratings.
