Exclude word(s) from App Store searches

How can I exclude words from searches in iOS App Store?

An example query could be like this:

monopoly -bingo

would avoid matches with bingo from turning up in results when searching for monopoly.

This doesn't work. Is there a way to make this work?


How about leveraging a better search engine to accomplish the same task?

Use Google Advanced Search

Hit Advanced Search button and you get this:

Or directly type this in Google search bar:

monopoly -bingo site:itunes.apple.com

I'm not sure if doing a Web search will take into account the keywords associated with the app as supplied by the developer (as you may be intending to include/exclude them).

Note: No affiliation whatsoever with Google. Find it to be a decent enough Web search engine and recommend it for use (best used in incognito mode, without logging in).
