Quite often, searching the Android Market gives you less than helpful results. It turns out, however, that the Market uses smart search operators, so you can further refine your search terms and find the app you're looking for.

It's remarkable how some searches will give you 20 useless results before you find what you're looking for. Sometimes the official app for a product is way down the list of results, and other apps have extra themes, fonts, and skins that make the original app harder to find. Reader cinnamonster, however, has a solution:

Search in the Android Market supports smart search operators such as - and + . Especially useful when you are searching for an actual app and not a theme or a skin (e.g. home replacements or keyboards).


It's a simple tip, but one we didn't know about, and is pretty neat depending on the app you're searching for. Found any other cool Market search tricks? Share them with us in the comments.
