Store Listing Details Search

Sieveable supports searching for apps by their store listing details information listed on the official Google Play store. You may search for apps by download count, star ratings, or keywords in their title, description, or what's new section. For example, to find apps that have the "phrase photos" editing in their description, we use the following search query: <description>photos editing</description>. You may also search for more specific fields by specifying any of the following listing details information in the search query:
