Search Function and YA overload

[Jessica]

I'm a librarian in real life and use goodreads to help select books for our collection. When I search, "2017" I get 1,235 hits and have to dig for the ones that actually have anything to do with 2017, and yes, I'm putting 2017 in quotes. Can this be fixed?

Similarly, when I search "Adult" I get 5700 results and while I understand that 'young adult' has the word adult, is there a way to eliminate all of the YA results? Perhaps an advanced search for listopia?

Thanks in advance!
