Is there a way of doing a "whole word only" search in the marketplace and free stuff area?  I'd like to do a search for "ark" without getting results for park, bark, spark, etc.  Traditionally, putting quotes around a search term searches for that specific word, but it does not work here.  It is really frustrating to wade through hundreds of results that have nothing to do with what I am searching for.

Yes - In the MarketPlace enclose the word in quotes. "ark"

I think it will work in the Free Stuff as well.

Is there any documented guidance explaining how search indexing works for users trying to narrow results? Geometry Dash Lite
