search - Is there a way to use the NOT operator on Amazon? - Web Applications Stack Exchange
Is there a website that lets me search for a product on Amazon, then suggests a different site to buy it from?
amazon search filters aren't just useless, they literally don't make any sense
When did Amazon's search become so horrible?

UPDATE: This feature does NOT work as of June 2019.
You can use the minus sign (-) in front of the terms you want to exclude from the search results.
For example: stephen king -dark
I found that adding the item to be excluded wrapped in () makes the NOT operator work
i.e. gem (-rocks) will return a search where rocks was excluded
above would be: stephen king (-dark)
Unfortunately, Amazon does not regard the NOT operator anymore (negative keyword search).
Workaround: use Google Search with for example:
site:amazon.com lightbulbs -led
This will give you all lightbulbs that are not LED.
Of course, you don't have the sorting-order of Amazon's search engine anymore. But it serves the purpose.
However, with Google Search you can get latest products by using the after:yyyy-mm-dd search parameter.
Example:
site:amazon.com lightbulbs -led after:2021-01-01
Amazon’s search tools and suggestion analytics are pretty decent, but I want them to die in a fiery grave. Is there a tool that shows who else I can give my money to?
